The old website for Bottle Ventures, full page
The rebuilt website for Bottle Ventures, full page

The full page, top to bottom.

The key finding on this one: the old site rendered about 3.5× wider than the phone viewing it: a 1,347-pixel layout squeezed onto a 390-pixel screen. It wasn’t actually responsive, and most of its words lived inside images. To a person it looked charming. To an AI answering “who does wine tastings near me,” it barely existed.

Bottle Ventures knows wine the way a good bookshop knows books. By hand. The rebuild put that voice into readable pages: what a tasting is, what it costs, where they’ll travel, what to expect. Same warmth. Now it can be read: by a phone, and by the machines people ask.
