We’re combining forces with Global Wine Database to build the world’s best wine information portal. The team is tasked with collecting, quantifying, and maintaining a centralized knowledge base of global wine information – available to all.

Say hello to Folly Enterprises.

Here’s a snapshot of what’s coming:

  • Explore wines based on unique traits. (tech info, certifications, and more)
  • Teach yourself wine through educational guides and tools.
  • Quickly and easily access wine, winery, and winemaker information.
  • Integrate Global Wine Database’s API into apps and ecommerce.
  • See remarkable information visualized about the wine world.
  • Drink better wine.
The wine information portal starts with an easy-to-use user experience.

Wine drinkers get free access to the database through Wine Folly’s learning resource. Global Wine Database adds the layer of truth and authenticity to wine regional data, wineries, and wines to Wine Folly’s platform.

Who is Behind The Merger?

Wine Folly and the Canadian firm, Blacksquare (who controls Global Wine Database), founded this project. The new company is called Folly Enterprises and it’s already off to a great start with information gathered on many of the top regions of the world.


“Gone will be the need for dozens of people to populate dozens of databases, forms and documents, spending endless hours copying, pasting, printing, faxing, emailing, posting, and chasing queries. They sum it up thus: Upload data once. Drive the facts forward.”
