Solutions for Wineries and Importers


Inertia works with over 300 wineries - allocated and boutique producers, as well as some of the most prominent brands - providing direct access to wine buyers via an eCommerce enabled storefront.  Wineries and retailers alike rely on our REthink Engine™ to help them build direct sales to both consumers and the trade.   We help manage the total buying experience, from customer acquisition to club and relationship management via a platform which was built specifically to handle the many regulatory requirements of the wine industry: including age declaration, state restrictions, consumer-based volume limitations, and compliance reporting.

Features You Need, Flexibility You Desire
Begin selling more effectively, with features proven to attract shoppers and turn them into buyers. The REthink Engine™ is a full-service eMarketing solution which was built with one purpose in mind, providing wine industry participants including wineries, importers, wholesalers, and retailers, the tools necessary to connect directly with individuals and businesses who’ve demonstrated interest in wines not typically available in local markets.  The platform itself delivers all of the features you need to make your direct program a success:

• Robust eCommerce Shopping Cart:  Everything you need to facilitate an effective eCommerce program; merchandising, invoicing, payment and fulfillment integrations, order tracking, and automated email controls.
• CMS Publishing:  Manage static store content such as category pages, winery information, images, documents, recipes, news, and events and publish directly to the web.
• Wine Club Tools:  
Gain control of your wine club and memberships with items such as advance notification of expiring cards, batch processing and order settlement, pre-processing email notifications, pending pick-up notices, vacation holds and more.

The REthink Engine™ provides numerous ways to view your customer order and purchase history, as well as demographic information, allowing more flexibility in marketing and providing the ability to reach customers on a personal level.
