Whiskyfinder

Je viens de trouver un comparateur de prix de flacons : http://www.whiskyfinder.eu/.

J'ai vaguement regardé sur des bouteilles standard et on voit des différences de prix assez significatives entre les différents sites répertoriés. Il semble que tous les sites marchands ne soient pas répertoriés, notamment ceux bien connus des forumeurs : MW et van Zuylen. La gamme de bouteilles suivies est assez vaste et dépasse largement le cadre de ce qu'on trouve en GMS bien que je n'aie vu que de très rares IB (Cadenhead, GMP, DT)

Il y aussi un historique des prix. Je me demande s'il a une quelconque signification et surtout on n'a pas l'échelle des temps.

My apologies for replying in english, but my french is terrible.

I am one of the authors of whiskyfinder.eu and happily noticed that you found us, and thought I'd give a quick reply...
The two sites you mentioned will be added to the list (I guess you meant http://www.whiskyvanzuylen.nl and http://www.mwwines.com.au ? ), thanks for pointing them out as missing. As we're doing this solely on a hobby basis, a little patience would probably be advised.

In regards to the price history graphs: No, they have no real significance. The prices we store in the database are in Swedish kronor (since we're Swedes) so the charts move with todays exhange rate towards the currency used in the sites we parse, even if the lowest price in e.g euro remains the same. Also, it only contains a history of the cheapest price found for each product each night, so if the cheapest site is down for whatever reason, the graph will jump up that night. The graphs are mostly just for fun.

Sláinte!

Thanks for your answers and congratulations for the work.

http://www.mwwines.com.au ?

Sorry... We use to call the "Maison du Whisky" MW and its website is http://www.whisky.fr/

Euh, d'après ce que je bois sur whiskyfinder, La Maison du Whisky est bien représentée.
Bon, maintenant y ajouter VZ.... Vous voulez vraiment que j'y aille tous les jours pour éviter la panne sèche...?

Van Zuylen is now added.
Enjoy

Bon soir,
this is just a friendly update...

Whiskyfinder now also exists in a mobile friendly version. Might come in handy when you stand in the taxfree shop at Charles de Gaulle airport and wonder whether the price of that particular Talisker 25 yo is reasonable or you might be ripped off.
The URL if you're curious and have a reasonably new cell phone is: http://mobile.whiskyfinder.eu/
