Europe’s largest online wine retailer Virgin Wines is upgrading computer systems to improve security and ensure constant availability of its web site.
Site security is a concern of all online retailers of course and is not restricted to online wine retailers. Virgin Wines IT director, Stuart Hunt says
The security of customer data is the most important part of our business, ahead of selling wine, because people need to be confident when putting credit card details online.
Selling wine online is what Virgin Wines needs to do of course – they have no high street presence. They appear to know how to do that though because they sell more than 300,000 cases of wine over the internet each year.
