San Francisco, CA July 15, 2004 -- WineZap today announced the launch of a new website WineZap.com, a free online service that helps wine consumers to find, price, and compare wines. WineZap.com assists both fine wine lovers and casual wine drinkers to buy wines by making it easy to find a wine, compare it with other wines, and find the lowest wine prices across hundreds of U.S. retailers.



To help promote the launch of WineZap.com, the Wine Library in Springfield New Jersey is offering anyone who subscribes to WineZap's free newsletter 22% off any non sale wine item, regardless of quantity purchased. To get the Wine Library coupon code, which is good through September 1, 2004, go to WineZap Wine Deals for full details.

WineZap.com offers five unique methods to discover new wines. The most exciting are wine ratings by consumers and the ability to search for wines by pairing food and wine. WineZap.com users write wine tasting notes and wine reviews based on their experience. Other users can then search by the wine ratings looking for high quality, top value wines. If someone is looking to enhance his or her dining experience, WineZap.com's unique wine search engine can find the perfect food and wine pairings.

WineZap.com users can also search for wines based on the country of origin, the varietal type, or price and focus their search results through any combination of the search parameters. For example, a user who is seeking a well-priced red wine with a good rating can easily enter that search and instantly see results that include information about the wine and reviews by other users.

Once wine lovers have located a wine, they can use WineZap.com to compare not only wine prices, but any applicable tax, and an approximate shipping cost among hundreds of U.S. retailers. WineZap.com's advanced wine search technology can navigate the complex wine shipping laws and display only retailers that are able to ship directly to the consumer's home. Further, a user can setup a price alert; the system will notify him or her by email once the price for a wine meets that consumer's request.

WineZap.com also offers an innovative comparison engine that allows wine consumers to compare wines by any combination of factors including wine prices, wine ratings, country or region of origin, food and wine match and varietal type. For example, it can recommend 10 red wines from the United States under $20 that are highly scored by other wine lovers.

WineZap also publishes a free daily email newsletter. WineZap's editors review offers from hundred's of retailers every day and email subscribers the best discounts, rarest finds, and most interesting buys. To become a subscriber, go to WineZap's free newsletter.

Shaun Bishop, WineZap's CEO and founder, said, "All of these services make WineZap.com one of the most comprehensive wine websites for both fine wine lovers and casual wine drinkers." To arrange an interview, please contact Shaun Bishop at (510) 547-9030 or shaun@winezap.com.
