Founder

The AVIN was created in 2008 by the social tasting note site Adegga.com as a means to solve a database issue. When each wine was entered into the database by the user, it was often entered inconsistently, whereby creating doubles of a wine, or simply having incorrect information. The AVIN was a means to solve this issue by creating a single unique code for each and every wine. Today the AVIN is available to be used by anyone and not just Adegga.
