Help for Searches

The following will help you get the best out of Wine-Searcher.

'Wine' field:

• Enter the name of the wine you're searching for.
• General searches return more results. Detailed searches return fewer results. Start with the winery name and/or wine name.
  e.g. caymus cabernet or les forts de latour.
• If you know a wine's name but not which winery makes it, include the country of origin. Compare tribute vs. tribute usa.
• To exclude a word from your search, write 'not' before it.
  e.g. napa pinot not noir.
• Generic searches such as "Chateau" or "France" are too general; Wine-Searcher will ask you for more information.
• Searches like "Napa Cab" are very general, but will locate the cheapest bottle of Napa Cab available (All Matching Wines) or a list of the most popular Napa Cabs (Exact Matches).

'Vintage' field:

• Enter the specific vintage you require.
• Enter 'NV' for non-vintage wines.
• Leave blank to see all available vintages.

'Show' field:

• All matching wines returns a list of merchants, their locations and their prices. It relates to all available wines whose name or description includes your chosen search words.
• Exact Matches returns a list of wines which exactly match your search words, allowing you to refine the search to a single wine. Exact Match searches are also useful for finding all wines produced in a particular style or by a particular winery. e.g. Unoaked Chardonnay or Yalumba.
• Exclude auctions / Auctions only allows you to remove auction listings from the results, or focus on them exclusively.

'Location' field:

• Use this to restrict your search to a particular country or state.
• World-Wide Delivery: restricts the search to merchants who deliver world-wide.

'Currency' field:

• Select the currency for your search results.
  
• See price notes for details on how we convert prices.

'Bottle/Case' field: (Pro Version only)

• All: returns all results, in all formats and case sizes.

Min/Max Price fields: (Pro Version only).
