Vinogusto.com went live in May 2007 and has over 3.000 registered users today. Lately, our wine community welcomes 15 new users daily. Besides, over 5.000 winelovers visit us daily and enjoy the reviews of 23.952 wines and 37.439 adresses.
Vinogusto, the 2.0 community for wine lovers, increases its capital by 200.000 euros.
The objective is to improve its functionality as social network in order to provide even more complete services to its users and clients. In the investment, wich will be effective March 25th, are participating multiple recognized web enterpreneurs, such as the founder of Meetic , Christophe Salanon; the founder of Toprural.com and partner of 11870.com, François Derbaix; the founder of Rentalia.com, Marta Esteve; and the Ebay Belgium member, Alexis Vandewyer.
This decision comes as an answer to the continuous and rapid growth in visits that Vinogusto has experienced over the last 4 months (400%) which resulted into a significant increase of users and clients of the sector, looking for presence and visibility on the Internet.
Vinogusto was created 9 months ago by the Belgians Marc Roisin & Laurent Mikolajczak with the purpose of offering wine lovers like themselves a place to share their passion in a one of its kind Web 2.0 environment.
Vinogusto is available in four languages (Spanish, French, English and Dutch), totalizes over 150.000 visits monthly today, offers information on more than 25.000 wines and 35.000 addresses with more than 45.000 users’comments, along with content on winetourism, wine and food pairing, etc…
All of this turned Vinogusto into the most important wine related social network in Europe and an important promotion space for the companies of the sector.
Due to some technical problems, our website was down for about 20 hours last weekend. By now, everything should work well again. Sorry about that.

The cellar represent your real life cellar. You’re supposed to use it in order to keep track of the bottles your really own.
If you want to add a wine to your cellar, follow the next steps :
1. Search the wine you want to put in your cellar (if you don’t find it, please create it).
2. On the wine’s page, click on the link ‘put in the cellar’. You’ll end up in the overview of the cellar with 1 bottle of the wine added.
3. If necessary, update the quantity. Therefore, change the quantity ‘1′ into the real quantity you own and click on the button ‘Update quantities’.
Example of a cellar :

Step one : identify the wine you want to remove from the cellar
