As part of the marketplace’s latest offering, eBay is partnering
with Drync – a mobile app platform for wine – to bring a wide
selection of wine to U.S. shoppers through Drync’s broad network of
wine retail partners.
“Whether you’re in search of wine to celebrate a special
occasion, give as a Mother’s Day gift, or add to your collection of
rare or hard-to-find, eBay is offering a fresh, modern way to find
the perfect bottle,” said Alyssa Steele, DMM of Home and Garden at
eBay. “Combining eBay’s unparalleled reach and innovative platform
with unmatched inventory, the launch of eBay Wine is yet another
way we are providing shoppers with amazing choice and selection –
for a truly unique shopping experience.”
eBay shoppers will be able to purchase wine and ship to almost
anywhere in the U.S.1 In addition to varietal and price point,
shoppers can filter based on price format (“Buy It Now” or auction
for rare bottles) and delivery options (shipping or in-store
pick-up, where available), coming soon. The site experience will
also feature expert guides and tips by lifestyle expert Maureen
Petrosky and sommelier and winemaker André Hueston Mack,
highlighting seasonal and emerging wine trends and must-have
accessories – making the shopping process easy and
approachable.
“As an entertaining expert, I’m always in search of new ways to
discover and buy wines for different occasions,” said Maureen
Petrosky. “For spring, I’m loving French rosé. With the
launch of eBay Wine, I now can enjoy a huge selection of rosés from
France – and nine other countries – to which I otherwise wouldn’t
have access.”
As of today, people can now discover more than 10,000 different
wines on eBay – from everyday staples to sought after vintages of
fine wines. The platform now offers wine from 30 countries and from
more than 500 regions around the world giving shoppers access to
favorites from popular areas like Sonoma, Tuscany and Rioja, as
well as unique selection from emerging regions like Italy’s Sicily,
Israel’s Galilee and Lebanon’s Bekaa Valley.
“I’m so excited to be partnering with eBay to help savvy and
novice wine enthusiasts alike learn about different types of wine,”
said André Hueston Mack. “Choosing wine can oftentimes feel
overwhelming. eBay makes it easier than ever to find an incredible
wine selection – fine, rare, and everyday – that you’re sure to
love.”
Through the Drync collaboration, eBay is helping retailers
better connect with and educate customers, while enabling shoppers
to access a huge selection of wine – and have that wine shipped to
up to 45 states in the U.S.
“Drync’s collaboration with eBay allows us to bring the reach of
the marketplace to our wine retail partners while empowering a
broad consumer audience with a huge selection of wine to choose
from,” said Brad Rosen, Founder and CEO, Drync. “The Drync-eBay
collaboration marks a significant shift in the wine industry –
offering realtime inventory from large and small retailers
throughout the country through a marketplace that includes both
in-store pick up and delivery options.”
