datawebotWine-Searcher wine and spirits offers, vintages and prices
Compare Wine-Searcher product vintages and merchant offers while keeping bottle size, tax, seller location and normalized prices distinct.
Resolve wine identity before comparing offers
Wine-Searcher product pages group market references, vintages and merchant listings. Keep the bottle or beverage identity distinct from each offer, because the vintage and format can differ even when a seller's title looks similar.

| Product attribute | Preserve | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Producer and product | Producer, cuvée or product name, and displayed label spelling. | Merchant titles can abbreviate or reorder the same name; keep the source reference URL. |
| Origin and variety | Appellation/region, country, grape or blend, and style when shown. | Similar names can refer to different origins or compositions. |
| Vintage | Numeric vintage, NV/non-vintage state, or source-stated vintage range. | A product page may aggregate vintages while a merchant offer is for one specific year. |
| Package unit | Bottle size, case size/count and any pack/bottle configuration. | 750 ml normalization does not change the source's actual bottle or case unit. |
| Product-level scores | Critic score and publication, user rating and count as separate attributes. | Do not assign a vintage-specific critic score to every product or merchant offer. |
Keep each merchant offer and offer type separate
Wine-Searcher is a discovery and comparison layer that links readers to independent merchant destinations. Store each offer at merchant level, with the local listing context that determines what the displayed price represents.

| Offer field | Record when shown | Comparison boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Merchant identity | Merchant name/profile, market or local address, and listing destination. | A platform product reference is not the merchant's own stock record. |
| Offer identity | Merchant's display title, product/vintage, bottle or case quantity and any lot number. | Do not collapse a case, single bottle or auction lot into one unit. |
| Offer type | Displayed state such as retail, producer, auction, by request, in bond or pre-arrival. | A bid, unpriced request, bonded offer or not-yet-bottled future is not an ordinary in-stock retail offer. |
| Displayed status | Source wording for stock/availability and the date/context observed. | Wine-Searcher tells readers to confirm availability with the merchant; do not treat a listing as live inventory. |
| Fulfilment context | Delivery estimate, local pickup, shipping restriction or merchant location when displayed. | Do not assume the merchant ships to every market selected in search. |
Separate normalized comparison prices from checkout cost
A product-level average and a merchant's local offer answer different questions. Preserve the source's unit, currency and tax label before comparing them; a normalized price is not the final amount a buyer pays.

| Price measure | What it represents | Keep alongside it |
|---|---|---|
| Average price per 750 ml | Wine-Searcher may display an ex-tax product average normalized to a 750 ml reference unit. | Vintage/product scope, market, currency, ex-tax label and time period when shown. |
| Merchant amount | A specific seller's displayed price for a listed bottle, case or lot. | Merchant, offer type, bottle/case count, vintage and local currency. |
| Tax basis | Whether the displayed amount is ex-tax, includes a stated tax, or reflects an in-bond condition. | Do not compare ex-tax and tax-inclusive prices as if they were identical totals. |
| Delivery and premium | Shipping, destination restrictions, pickup terms or an auction buyer's premium when shown. | Keep outside the listed item price unless the source explicitly includes it. |
| Currency conversion | Any normalized or alternate-currency presentation. | Retain original amount/currency and conversion date/rate source separately. |
Attribute scores, price history and demand signals
Wine-Searcher product and trade views can combine several evaluations and historical measures. Preserve who supplied or calculated each signal, its scope and date range; none should be substituted for a merchant offer or completed sale.

| Signal | Record context | Do not infer |
|---|---|---|
| Critic review/score | Publication or critic, score, vintage and displayed review association. | A score for one vintage as a rating for all years or a guarantee of quality. |
| User rating | Rating value and number of user ratings at observation time. | A critic score, representative buyer survey or proof of product sales. |
| Price history/benchmark | Product or benchmark, market, currency, unit, tax basis and chart period. | A current price when the graph ends in the past or a market-wide value from one listing. |
| Availability over time | Offer-count series and date range, if the view exposes it. | Exact inventory, sell-through, or one merchant's stock. |
| Search/popularity | Named query, market and observation period when an official view provides it. | Sales volume, conversion or demand without a separately defined measure. |
