Who we are.

Corkscore is a team of creative, committed wine enthusiasts with deep technology and commercial skills. The company is currently based in Sydney Australia and is self funding. Our philosophy is to offer to the wine enthusiast a secure repository for their wine notes, providing that essential memory of wines enjoyed over time.

We add to that the capability of search and social networking to enhance the discovery of new wines that our users are very likely to enjoy.

Corkscore revenues will be generated by advertising to wineries and merchants, offering purchase options for wines that our users enjoy or discover. We will always focus on services for the consumer rather than the vendor.

The Corkscore team is dynamic and experienced with a clear focus on leveraging technology for the benefit of our constituents and achieving a commercially viable long term outcome. We are also passionate wine aficionados with deep understanding of the wine industry and consumers.
