Introduction
Wine enthusiasts, collectors, distributors, and retailers rely heavily on Wine-Searcher for real-time wine pricing, vintage availability, critic scores, and merchant listings. As one of the world’s largest wine search platforms, Wine-Searcher aggregates millions of wine SKUs from global sellers — making it a valuable source for wine pricing intelligence.
Our client, a wine investment & retail analytics startup, needed structured Wine-Searcher liquor data to power pricing models, vintage comparisons, and regional wine market insights. Their goal was to scrape WineSearcher for wine pricing trends, extract merchant listings in real time, and unify the data into dashboards for investment-grade decisions.
To achieve this, we built a custom WineSearcher API scraper that captured wine attributes, bottle sizes, merchant prices, critic ratings, and vintage-level details. We also connected this with our Liquor Data Scraping API for scalability and continuous data refresh.

Web Scraping Vintage Wines Prices from Wine-searcher platform, including:

- Bottle sizes (375ml, 750ml, magnum, etc.)
- Critic ratings & review summaries
- Geographic availability (country, region, sub-region)
- Historical wine pricing trends
- Liquor categories: wines, spirits, whisky, gin, cognac

Key Objectives

Challenges
1. Dynamic Merchant Listings
Wine-Searcher constantly updates merchants, stock levels, and bottle prices, making data consistency difficult.
2. Region-Specific Pricing
Wine prices differ dramatically by country, currency, taxes, and shipping zones — requiring geo-based scraping logic.
3. High Data Variability
Each wine listing may have:
- multiple vintages
- multiple bottle sizes
- dozens of sellers
- fluctuating prices
Normalizing this was essential.
4. Anti-Bot Protection
Wine-Searcher uses strong rate limits and dynamic loading patterns, demanding an advanced scraping workflow.
5. Historical Wine Pricing
The client needed month-wise/seasonal data to detect appreciation or depreciation trends of vintage wines.
