WineCommune LLC #35 on Inc 500 List of Fastest Growing US Companies

Oakland based WineCommune was recently ranked #35 on the 'Inc. 500' list of fastest growing US firms. Rankings were based on percentage of revenue growth from 2003 through 2006, and to be eligible, businesses must have had 2003 revenue of at least $200,000 and 2006 revenue of at least $2 million.

Despite a dot-com crash and harsh regulations for online wine retailers, WineCommune has managed to flourish, posting a revenue growth of 2,708% over the last three years.
"It is an honor to be recognized by Inc. 500," says WineCommune CEO, Michael Stajer. "Great customers and an irreplaceable staff have been such a driving force for our organization, and we plan on continuing to push the envelope within the wine industry."

Unparalleled customer service and constant innovation have kept WineCommune on the fast track to success. New features are consistently being added to the site, the most recent of which include same-day delivery, YouTube wine reviews, Facebook applications, and a 24-hour customer service hotline.

This latest accolade comes on the heels of Food & Wine's recent naming of WineCommune to the '2007 Top 10 Online Wine Retailer' list, further solidifying them as a leader in the online world of wine.

The 'Inc. 500' results were released on Thursday, August 23rd, and were published in their 26th annual Top 500 issue, made available at newsstands August 28th, 2007.
