After 6 months of work and just a few months from releasing our beta and iPhone app to the public, here are a few high-level stats to give you a snapshot of where we are and how ambitious our concept is:
- booquet captures over 370,000 blogs, twitter accounts, message boards, and forums
- booquet has certified over 240,000 wines that are now live with posts and tweets associated on the site
- we have over 600,000 wines waiting to be approved (whether they have posts or no posts associated to them)
- there are nearly 67,000 wineries identified and live on the site
- each day, more than 4,000 blog posts, tweets, status updates, comments, replies about wine are added to the site
- over 230,000 wines carry an online purchase option
- we are nearly a third of the way done cataloging the online wine conversation
But wait, as noted in a previous post by Christine Kraft, we shall deliver an iPhone version of booquet.com into the palm of your hand very soon. Even more exciting!
Stay tuned for further news shortly and watch for release of our mobile app.

This is gonna be amazing and we are all lookng forward to it! cheers
I love it. This is great except I don’t understand how it works. Where do I find the perfect wine for my roast beef tonight? Is there any kind of advice?
Love it… Keep up the good work !!!
We are certainly delighted that you love the site. Our site will go live very soon with just the new feature you will need to find the perfect wine for the food you have chosen to prepare. You will be able to find a wine based on food pairing or a specific occasion or mood you would like to strike. Stay tuned!
Pascaline, once you register for a booquet account, you’ll have access to our pairing tool in beta: http://www.booquet.com/pairings/new >> Be sure to try out pairings by mood.
Let us know what cool pairings you come up with.
