METRICS
14 WINES&VINES January 2015
T
he total number of off ers for domestic
wines in November was 4% higher than
a year ago, bringing to an end a two-
month trend of slightly lower off er totals. Flash
websites made a total of 576 off ers and were
led by Last Call Wines, which had 113. Wired
for Wine, which averages 35 off ers per month
held a special event that resulted in 106 off ers
for domestic wine and also helped drive the
monthly total higher.
In 2012 and 2013, the total number of offers
in November and December were higher than
in previous months of those years. December
2013's total of 722 offers was the highest of that
year and has been unsurpassed in 2014. During
the past 12 months ending in November 2014,
the total offers per month also spiked in May
(610 offers), August (601) and November
(578). Each of these month's totals were either
100 offers higher than the 12-month average of
500 or close to that level. A higher number of
offers by Invino pushed the total higher in three
of those months. In November, Invino had just
67 offers, and the higher total can be attributed
to Wired for Wine and Last Call Wines.
By wine type, the breakdown of offers has
stayed relatively the same since Wines Vines
Analytics first started tracking flash offers. Cab-
ernet Sauvignon is the most popular followed by
Pinot Noir. Chardonnay and red blends have
occasionally switched the third place position but
always remain well ahead of Zinfandel and other
varietal wines. In the "all other" category Sau-
vignon Blanc accounted for 112 of the 664 offers
followed by Petite Sirah's 77. While white Zin-
fandel may still account for a sizeable share of
off-premise retail shelves, flash sites made only
one offer for the wine type in the past 12 months.
