Snooth Announces 500,000th Registered User
The world's largest online wine community is now half a million strong and growing.
New York, NY, August 06, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Snooth, the world's largest wine site, today announced that it has welcomed its 500,000th registered user.
This achievement comes just ten months after Snooth added its 250,000th registered user, marking a rapid 100% growth in visitors who establish a profile on the site. The boom shows no sign of slowing: Snooth continues to grow at a rate of 1,000 registered users every single day.
Each of these users number among Snooth's one million monthly visitors, and the 10 million monthly visitors who experience Snooth's data through partners such as Yahoo, Epicurious, and myrecipes.com.
"We're thrilled that half a million wine lovers have made Snooth their home," said Philip James, founder and CEO. "Every new voice helps make Snooth not just the largest, but the most engaging online wine community in the world."
In addition to doubling its registered population, Snooth has experienced remarkable growth in under 12 months; earlier this year, the company launched a revolutionary wine pairing widget on foodandwine.com, and established its first new vertical, The Spirit (thespir.it), a site and email publication dedicated to cocktail culture.
"With each passing day, Snooth strengthens its position as the most influential wine media company," said James. "We're steadily increasing our reach to epicurean consumers around the globe."
Since its inception in June 2007, Snooth has grown to be the world’s largest wine database, with over 1 million wines and prices from 11,000 merchants and wineries worldwide. The site currently handles over 5 million searches per month and has 500,000 registered users.
