Hunting for deals on great wine can be exciting, but it can also be frustrating—you’re only one person, after all, and you might not have the time or energy to search everywhere you wish you could. But what if you had a team at your disposal, whose sole mission was to seek out the best bottles of wine and then bring it to your attention?

You’d have The Wine Spies, that’s what. Every day, a new Daily Deal shows up on the Spies’ website, sought out by one of the undercover “agents” and then placed on the front page along with a “confidential dossier” that gives you all the information you could possibly ask for regarding that particular wine. Not only the origin of the bottle, but also a report on the taste and possibly even an interview with the owner of the vineyard—The Wine Spies believe that the more you know about the bottle the more assured you can be of its quality if you decide to buy it. And if you do, you’ll have the added satisfaction of knowing what a great price you paid for it.

But there’s more to The Wine Spies than just good deals on fine wine. The site is also set up to encourage you to become a special “operative,” and offer your own comments about the wines being highlighted. You’ll be taking part in a gigantic discussion with wine enthusiasts worldwide, and active participants will earn “Spy Rank” points. These points will gradually build your “rank” on the Wine Spies website, and will open up exclusive deals only available for the best operatives.
