I'm a great advocate of online buying for many things and in particular wine. I really believe that if you want to find the biggest choice and buy in the most convenient way possible in this hectic modern world then the web is the way to do it. Nothing beats the convenience of browsing, ordering and then having your Red, Rose or white wine delivered.
I write a regular blog on the wines that are matched by experts to the dishes prepared live by famous chefs on the BBC's Saturday Kitchen programme. Last week, as is often the case a really stunning wine was discovered on the show. The wine expert Tim Atkins reckoned it was one of the best White burgundies he had ever tasted in the price range £8. The host of the show and guest chefs all agreed that this was one of the best they had featured on the show for 5 years.
The point of mentioning this is that the wine in question was sold out by the following day - mainly as a result of the viewers jumping onto the internet to order the wine in question in their thousands. This scenario sums up my point about the benefits of buying wine online perfectly I think: You watch a fantastic cookery show to start the weekend off nicely. On this show some Michelin starred chefs, a wine expert and the host all go crazy for an affordable white wine and tell you where to get it. You jump onto your PC, find it - have the White wine delivered. Magic!
The alternative, even just a few short years ago - would have been to try and track down the nearest branch of the retailer (assuming there was one in your area) then physically go and see if there was any left by the time you got there. Oh and you'd miss the show - albeit now you can just catch up with it later but the point is it is unnecessarily inconvenient in this day and age. I'll say it again - Buy wine online.
Being able to buy a recommended wine seen on a TV show is just a good way to highlight one advantage of online wine buying but there are many other good reasons. Regardless of the type or style of wine you are looking for or where you found out about, the web is an unbeatable resource. Even you don't have a particular target wine as in the example above, the sheer range of wines available from the many merchants selling wine via the web is truly staggering. As many retailers offer seasonal and bin discounted offers on their online portal only its also great to be able to take advantage of those too.
If you'd like to investigate further I'd recommend a visit to http://www.wineday.co.uk an online store which deals with a whole host of big name wine merchants in the UK. On this site you can browse an unbelievable range of wines, accessories and wine gifts and narrow down your search by price, retailer, delivery times and brand.

I know of one US based customer who was able to source and buy some very expensive vintage Champagne from this UK based store recently and also to arrange delivery to the States.
