eBacchus® Launches Public Beta Version of Its Website

eBacchus®, the premier wine and vineyard community & information site, is now available to all users.

Recently, eBacchus (http://www.eBacchus.com), announced the public launch of its beta website with two brand-new member categories: SweetGrapes® Unbiased Member Reviews & Ratings and the Member Professional Referral Network. Both SweetGrapes and the Member Professional Referral Network are included in an eBacchus.com free membership.

SweetGrapes is a unique rating system based solely on unbiased input provided by eBacchus members, thus it is free from commercial ulterior motives. SweetGrapes reviews pertain to everything wine-related including:

• Tasting Notes
• Winery Visits
• Wine Merchants
• Wine Clubs
• Tours & Travel
• Wine Education
• Wine Accessories
• Festivals & Events
• Wine Media & Arts
• Wine Bars

When browsing http://www.eBacchus.com, members have the opportunity to comment on or review existing listings or add new listings that are not yet in the eBacchus SweetGrapes system. Members then give a listing a rating from 1 to 5 grapes (in half-grape increments) with 5 being the “sweetest grapes” or most favorable review and 1 being the least favorable. The review is then added to the reviews of other eBacchus members and a cumulative rating is created for the listing.

The Member Professional Referral Network enables members to support other members. The eBacchus professional referral tool is a great way to network within the eBacchus family. Members can simply list their own professional service or help support other community members by utilizing their services.

eBacchus is pleased to include these new eBacchus.com additions to their expanding list of member advantages:

• No online selling
• SweetGrapes Member Reviews
• Free Membership ($177 value)
• Invaluable Ideas & Information
• Member Savings & Rewards
• Member Referrals & Classifieds
