Yup, right there in front of me ![[oops.gif]](/uploads/db3686/original/2X/1/1f129ddad071ffe5db6c99817c3cab666035a70a.gif "oops"){kind=small}
I find that about half the time if their is a price in the Vivino box and I click on it the website then says they don’t sell that wine. So maybe a lag in the database that the link accesses vs the actual wine in stock? Not a big deal as I don’t buy from Vivino anyway.
Please email us examples of any misses to support@cellartracker.com. We only show the button and the price when their API has just sold us they have something to sell… We pass a country/state based on your IP to them to get relevant local offers, but maybe there is some sort of mismatch there? Please send examples and we can track it down.

Eric - Want to make sure I understand what you are saying. Is it:
- button always shows but a price is only shown in the button if they have something to sell, or
- button and price only show when there is something to sell
Wine-Searcher button always shows. Price shows when their API has a price to return.
Vivino button is intended to only show when there is an offer. If for that exact vintage then a price is shown. If for another vintage, no price is shown. Dan is looking at their API some more. He may be showing the button when they have a match but no offer which is not intended.
I have also found situations where they have an offer but the price isn’t listed. If you want me to put another note in the support forum, let me know.
Is this on web on PC only?
The “Where to Buy” button in the iOS apps take me straight to wine-searcher.
Desktop Website only IIRC.
Correct. We have not implemented this in mobile yet.
The “lack of offer” issue was fixed yesterday.
One example here that I just happened to have open while I saw this thread; I’ve seen a lot more: Imgur: The magic of the Internet
FWIW, it seems like Vivino’s service isn’t great. Lots of freshness and data correctness issues, and their coverage is small compared to Wine Searcher. If UX is important, and the affiliate/rev share economics are minimal as you say, I’d wait for improvements from Vivino, before deploying their button.
Site is down this morning
is the 10 minutes up … 
I get this every time I search for a wine:
An error occurred on the server when processing the URL. Please contact the system administrator.

Sorry all. Everything is back up.
Eric, how does the Wine-Searcher plug-in calculate the price? For me it’s always off by a few cents. For example – 2014 Donnhoff Niederhauser Hermannshohle Riesling Grosses Gewachs on theWine-Searcher button says $64.50, but it’s available at a single retailer for $65.00 even. 2014 Philippe Foreau Domaine du Clos Naudin Vouvray Sec on the button says $42.57, but the W-S low is $42.75.
The button almost always seems to be a few cents cheaper. Not a big deal, just wondering.
We show the wine-searcher minimum price, and the way that is calculated is described here: Average Wine Prices
Interesting. “Minimum price” is by definition not the minimum price.
Does it search pro or regular?
