Fully e-commerce enabled, Cybercellar.com currently retails over 1000 specially selected South African wines from nearly 250 different producers to clients all over the world.
Cybercellar.com's core business over the first two years was one of business-to-consumer in the domestic market, and we have since additionally focused our efforts on the global market, particularly to the US and Europe, in addition to B2B diversification
Cybercellar.com hosts a number of wine industry websites including the very successful John Platter Online, and facilitates e-commerce for several wine producers and other non-wine e-commerce companies.
Cybercellar.com is additionally involved in e-enabling the South African wine community by offering web design and web hosting to the SA wine producers and other related organisations, creating an online community for the wine industry.
