NYC UK based startup Snooth.com has raised $300K for its wine search vertical which is under development and launching soon. Initial round of funding has come from angel investors. Snooth seems to be planning a mix wine search and personalization. Interesting idea that can be a bit early for a niche market. Will report on the startup again once it nears its launch.

Considering the number is right, I wonder what is split between for editorial and user ratings for the total count. Anyway, one of the better developments on the site since the last time wrote is that now over 1,000 stores and wineries signed up, with over 200 currently live. What this means is you can buy wine from one of the 200 live stores and wineries online. [...]
