I am not sure the split was all that amicable.... If you tap “Naked Wine” into Google there is a sponsored ad from Virgin Wines at the top of the list.

I didn't explore the producer section, but I'm not surprised by your account. Thanks for the information.

Let's hope their communications and 'openness' improve quickly.

In fact this idea of creating a tasting panel of 100 people it is something that I have done on my blog for my winery just 2-3 months ago. It was quite an interesting experience to me and to others, since Zonin winery, which is the largest privately owned winery in Italy, decided to follow my example.<br>I subscibed and gave all the answer etc, but I was quite disappointed because I was not taken in (I gave my UK address not the Italian one). The same happened to a friend of mine, Stefano Caffari. Yes, the suspect is that they are trying to build a database, otherways they should tell the people that they have already reached the 100 people they wanted so they shouldn't bother to subscribe. That's what I've done on my tasting panel.<br>Interestingly, there is also a section reserved to wine producers, which I also thought to subscribe to. They answer a few quiestion again, and than, at end you are aked to upload a price list of your wines. Which I haven't done for the exact same reason you are writing this post, I can't give details of my business away without even knowing to whom I'm given them to.<br>I didn't find the whole experience satisfaying I have to say, neither as a customer (I do buy wine from others too...) nor as a potential supplier.
