Wine Woot has developed a passionate user community since starting in 2006, but others are strictly retailers, some bare bones: Wines Til Sold Out refuses to identify its affiliation on its website and will only talk to customers via e-mail.
Some other flash websites offer occasional wines, like Rue La La, an invitation-only site associated with Wine Woot, and even wineries themselves are trying the technique.
Wine Woot, which is affiliated with Woot.com, offers one wine each day.

The Flash Report
"Woot has developed a reputation for value and trustworthiness, so that's what we're aiming for," he says.
"One of the main reasons that wineries choose to sell their wines on the site is exposure." In addition to featuring the week's wine deal on wine.woot.com, the company also adds a product link to woot.com, which attracts 600,000-700,000 deal-seeking visitors each day.
"During the week that we were listed, I was able to use the Woot community to get their gut reactions to such hot topics as sustainable farming and screwcap closures," she says.
Based in New Jersey, winestilsoldout.com was inspired by the Woot concept.
