Vintage Search
1000 Corks has a pretty simple interface. But behind that simplicity there are some powerful options.
You've probably figured out that you can search for a specific vintage by just typing the name of the wine and the year you are looking for into the search box. So if you wanted to search for a Lafite from 1988, all you need to do is type Lafite 1998 into the search box.

Many people will be happy with that. But we've added a few more tricks. Let's say you want a bottle for a once in a lifetime special event. You'd like an '82, but you're not sure you want to blow your whole retirement account at once. You've also heard that the '85 is wonderful and not nearly as expensive.
You can search for both at the same time by putting Lafite 1982 1985 into the search box.
Now let's say you've just received a large inheritance. You'd like to get some older bottles. You can search for anything before a specific year using a <. Similarly a > will search for any year after the one you indicate. So to search for all the Lafites before 1970 you'd type this: Lafite < 1970.
If you wanted to build a vertical from 1962-1970, you could specify a range: Lafite 1962-1970.
You can do more complex searches as well. If you want to search for all the recent great Lafite vintages at once: Lafite 1982 1985 1986 1988 1989 1990 1995 1996 1998 2000 2003 2005.
You can even combine all of the above. Want to see all the Lafite's before 1960, as well as those from 1982 to 1988 and the 1998 and 2000? Simply type Lafite < 1960 1982-1988 1998 2000.
After selecting the wine and vintage you want, you can sort by price or bottle size. And, of course, you can use our local search function to see if the wine is available near you.
