Online wine and gifts retailer Wine.com on Oct. 11 launched a Japanese Website to sell wine in Japan through SanSonoma, Ltd., a Tokyo-based wine distributor. The partnership enables Wine.com to offer customers specific benefits that other companies have not been able to provide in the past, such as local customer support in Japan, competitive pricing in local currency, overnight shipping, access to a Japanese language-based Wine.com Website (http://japan.wine.com), and several wine selections specifically chosen for the Japanese market.
