Which wine goes with lamb in a herb crust?

I’d recommend our Bad Mergentheimer Tauberschwarz (2023). Its notes of juniper, peppery cherry and smoke pick up the herbs and roasted flavours.

Retain

A personal newsletter for every customer.

Vinolin remembers what your customers buy and tell the sommelier. From this, Newsletter Autopilot writes each of them a personal email. In your tone, without you typing a line. If you like, no email goes out without your approval, and one click pauses everything.

All about Newsletter Autopilot
Customer profile

Your shop gets better with every order.

Sommelier, shop and newsletter share one customer profile. Every question, every order and every click feeds into it and makes the next recommendation more accurate. The longer your shop runs, the better it knows your customers, just as you know your regulars in the tasting room. And that knowledge belongs to you, not to a marketplace.

Voices

What the wine trade says about Vinolin.

“We were about to hire a Shopify agency. That would have meant high costs and a project lasting months. We set up Vinolin ourselves in a few days.”
Christian HirschOwner, Christian Hirsch Weine e. K.
“I tested Vinolin with the questions customers really ask. Most of its recommendations are exactly what I would have given, and where they weren’t, they were well reasoned.”
Florian RichterBest Sommelier in Germany 2023 (Sommelier-Union Deutschland)
“The shop makes my day so much easier: I pack the cases and everything else runs almost by itself. Even the newsletter goes out automatically, and the feedback from my customers is simply brilliant!”
Michael SchrothOwner, Weingut Schroth
Pricing

You only pay when you sell.

We share your goal.

An agency gets paid for the project, whether or not the shop sells afterwards. We only earn from your orders. That’s why everything we build has one single aim: more orders.

Your shop never gets old.

It gets better with every update, and new features arrive automatically, at no extra cost and without a relaunch. It’s the last shop you’ll ever set up.

Yes, but…

What winemakers often ask us.

And what will my merchants say?

Usually less than you fear. We hear this worry a lot, and in our experience it is bigger than what actually happens. Your shop is your tasting room, just online. As there, you sell at your cellar-door prices, and your merchants already know that. You decide which wines go online. Anything you only sell through merchants or restaurants, you simply leave out. And if you’re unsure, we’re happy to talk your situation through with you first.

Is Vinolin a marketplace?

No. Your shop runs on your domain, under your name and with only your wines. Other wineries never appear in it, and the sommelier recommends only your wines. Your customers buy from you, and the customer profile belongs to you, not to us.

Does Vinolin replace my current website?

If you want it to, yes. You create pages such as “About us” or event information directly in Vinolin. Some customers use it this way as website and shop in one, on their own domain. For lots of editorial content, such as a large blog, your existing website remains the better choice. The shop then runs at shop.your-winery.com, and we help you connect it.

Does it work with Winestro?

Yes, with no double data entry. You keep managing wines, stock and prices in Winestro, the shop syncs every night and orders go straight into your merchandise management system. At launch, you import your wines directly from Winestro, so there is nothing to retype.

How much work is it?

Actual working time: one to two days. How quickly you go live is up to you. Some are online within a few days, most take one to two weeks alongside day-to-day business. Your wines are in the shop within a few hours, logo, colours and domain are set up quickly, and we support you free of charge at launch. Day to day, all you do is pack the cases: the sommelier advises, the newsletter writes itself, and updates arrive automatically.

Who helps me if something goes wrong?

We do, personally. You talk directly to us, by email or phone. At the start, we take half an hour to an hour, free of charge, and go through the first steps with you.

What happens when regulations change?

We take care of that, for all shops at once. New mandatory information, payment methods or Google requirements arrive in your shop automatically, at no extra cost. You don’t have to hire anyone or pay any invoice: legal texts and mandatory information are included in the price.

Can I leave at any time?

Yes, at any time and at no cost. There is no notice period and no monthly fee that keeps running. You export products, customers and orders as a file, and your domain is yours anyway. We want you to stay because the shop pays off, not because you’re locked in.

You make the wine.
Your shop sells it.

Your shop gets found on Google, the AI Sommelier advises like you do in the tasting room, and Newsletter Autopilot turns first-time buyers into regulars.
