Wine.com Celebrates our 10th Birthday!

Today we are breaking out the bubbly in celebration of our 10th birthday (we're drinking the '98 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne Blanc de Blanc, in case you were wondering)! The past decade has been quite amazing and in order to thank all of our loyal customers we're reducing the prices on thousands of great wines! To make the celebration even sweeter, we're ushering in this second decade with new pricing on some of our most popular lists - 90 Point Rated Wines Under $20 and our Collectibles and Top Rated Wines are among the mix.

Maybe it's all the Champagne we've been drinking, but we've all been reminiscing on the past ten years in the office this past week. In 1998, we set up shop as eVineyard.com and then rebranded as Wine.com in 2001. Our focus has remained on providing consumers access to premium and ultra-premium wine and wine-inspired gifts. Here are a couple highlights from the years past:
