Elias and Laura – Yes, good to point out that Amazon owns Woot (including wine.woot). Wine.woot does seem to be mostly domestic wines. To date, the information on this new wine venture does not seem to eat in to the woot plan but we will have to see how it all plays out once they do open the channel.

Hmm, no, hadn’t noticed that. But it is definitely a space to watch…

Have you noticed how Amazon actually has retailer listings for specific wines already? But it just dumps you out to the retailer’s site and leaves it up to you to figure out shipping costs and whether they can ship to your state so it’s not very useful.

If this new foray is similar to what they have now for retailers it’s a non-event. But if they can make it feel like buying most everything else on Amazon it could be interesting. They have a lot of work to do to get there though.

I wonder if they are using Woot’s experience for this project.
Woot’s offers are usually quite good. Too bad I can buy from Panama
