The Wine-Searcher website is a specialist search engine for locating and pricing wines.

Wine-Searcher's Technology

Wine-Searcher consists of three software components, each of which has been written specifically for us;

• The website, built for us by T&D Limitless Web Ltd. to search our database and take to payments. Limitless also hosts our site.

• Spidering software, to pick up wine lists from websites and to process lists emailed to us. We include over 8000 wine merchant and retailer price lists, and (normally) they are all updated twice a week.

• A wine knowledge database, to standardize the lists and make them searchable. This module includes a dictionary of common wine-related spelling errors (with over 1.5 million entries), along with region, grape, and producer information.
