Dear sir, dear Madam, I am Francois-Xavier Bodin, Manager of the Wine Alley Club. Please, let me introduce the services that our Online Club offers to wine-lovers. Wine Alley is an exchange and information Club for all those interested in wine in both a professional and personal capacity. You too can be among our 7085 members to receive our free weekly bulletin which commits you to nothing but presents an excellent overview of our site. http://www.chez.com/winenews2001/ We now have more than 4900 members, both amateur and in the trade who use our site to discuss wine, buy and sell it and tell us about the best sources. Club members use the Newsgroup of Wine Alley to exchange information and experiences. Only the other day someone asked how much a certain rare wine was worth, I asked for more information about the grape variety, which doesn't grow in France. This week alone there have been more than 1019 questions and replies. http://www.chez.com/winenews2001/ There are also for sale and wanted ads and a section giving the market value of wines. Among the 14 ads placed this week there have been some really good deals including a magnum of 1945 Pichon Lalande and a 1947 Cheval blanc! We also provide a particularly useful service with our Wine Pricing Guide encompassing 4800 different wines and based on auction sales of 150000 lots sold worldwide. Let me make it clear - Wine Alley itself does not sell or buy wine: we simply offer our members the facilities for making their own arrangements. http://www.chez.com/winenews2001/ Wine Alley is also a site supplying information in real time, particularly the latest news from winegrowers and makers via the French Press Agency (AFP). We also have a database of more than 21,000 wines with information supplied directly to the site by winegrower’s co-operatives and specialist magazines. I should be delighted if you would come and join us. At Wine Alley you will find similarly-minded people who just want to share their love of wine.
