What gets in the way for a wine shop
A catalogue you can never keep up to date
Your selection changes every week. Nobody has time to maintain a site listing 400 current wines.
Tastings that do not fill up
An evening announced on a poster in the window only reaches that day’s passers-by.
End-of-year gift boxes
Corporate and client gift orders arrive any old way by email or phone, with no budget or date, right in peak season.
Rules specific to alcohol
Advertising rules on alcohol apply to how you talk about wine: stay factual, which many website templates ignore.
How it works with Voxtya
- Built from your listing. Address, shop opening hours, photos and reviews are imported from Google at creation; you choose the look of the site.
- Your selection, not a catalogue. The site menu shows your favourites and wine families with prices, and the “Products and brands” section your winemakers. You update a few lines, not 400 product pages.
- The tastings calendar. The “Events” section lists your tastings and classes: date, time, description, price and sign-up link. Past dates disappear on their own, and Google reads them as events.
- Gift boxes and corporate orders. The “A special order?” form is included: gift box, order for a company or an event, quantities, date, budget. Each request is tracked until the order is confirmed.
- A table at the wine bar. With the Bookings service, customers book a table at the wine bar, with confirmation and a day-before reminder. Your Google reviews show on the site, with source and sorting stated.
In practice
| What you need | On your Voxtya site |
|---|---|
| Show your style of selection | Favourites menu, Products and brands section |
| Fill your tastings | Events calendar, read by Google |
| Take gift box orders | Special order form, request tracking |
| Take wine bar bookings | Table booking (Bookings service) |
| Stay within the rules | Factual texts: name, grape, origin, price |
Example: gift box season, with no lost emails
In mid-November, a company is looking for wine gift boxes for its clients. On your site, it fills in the form: 25 boxes, budget per box, delivery wanted by 15 December. The request arrives in your dashboard with their details; you mark it “quote sent”, then “confirmed” once the bottles are agreed.
The same month, your two tasting evenings are in the site’s calendar, with the sign-up link. The day after each evening, it disappears from the site without you thinking about it.
