CamVino

CamVino is a wine shop on the web — by the bottle, by the case, and (the part that makes it more than a shop) by the shared case, where people near the same village club together to fill one. It runs on Typomania, the framework behind the rest of this portfolio, but wears its own face: a catalogue organised the way a wine merchant thinks — by producer, region, country and grape — rather than as a flat list of SKUs.

Behind the storefront is a real merchant's back office. The catalogue is fed by an import pipeline that pulls supplier product lists and reconciles them against CamVino's own — the unglamorous, load-bearing work of keeping prices, vintages and stock straight. Purchase orders go out to suppliers, invoices come back in, and the wine on the site is wine you can actually order.

The distinctive bet is case sharing. A case might be six bottles or twelve, and most people don't want twelve of one wine — so CamVino lets customers within about five miles of Burwell each commit to a few bottles and pool toward a full case between them. When the case fills, everyone's asked to confirm and the order goes ahead. It turns "I'd buy two of those" into a viable order without anyone having to take the whole case.

It's in the oven. The storefront, catalogue and supplier import are running and taking real orders; case sharing has its eligibility and pooling logic working, with the payment-and-confirmation flow and the wider "CamVino Club" still being built out.
