My Online Wine List Demo

I keep my wine list online at my domain. However I am not about to give out the URL for the full list. I have made a demo of it for you to see with only two links on the list working. This is all contained in one directory which will be erased in a few days to prevent links generated by Google, etc from working and allowing people to hot link to some of my streaming media. The domain eMail link that serves the feedback form also will be deleted.

There are a few single bottles of real dogs left on the Bordeaux list. These date from the days when I was trying to find at least one bottle of all of the classified growths. I long ago concluded that many classified wines were not worth finding.

Technical Details

To see all of the multi-media included you need to have javascript, java, and ActiveX(when available) turned on. You also need to have the Windows Media Player(10 best) and the Real Player(10.5 best) installed. Both are free downloads. Also Quicktime may be helpful on Mozilla, Firefox, and Netscape browsers. The full program will work on my most recent computer browsers from IE6, MSN9, MYIE2, Mozilla, Firefox, Netscape, and Opera. Getting all of the media to work on all of these browsers is a nightmare. Briefly, Java controls the fancy wine list heading; without Java on, you get no heading. Javascript must be on to see some very elaborate dhtml(motion) effects. You have a choice of 3 kinds of audio on the Bordeaux page. There also is a short streaming video movie. If you are on 56K dialup, this might take up to 1/2 hour to start streaming since it plays at 359 K bits/second. However on broadband it will play nearly at once. If you do not want to wait, you can stop loading on the big WMP control bar. The pages are written in valid W3C xhtml 1.1, the latest version that is in general use yet. It is built up of several modules. that link to the relatively short main page.
