Price The Vintage
Making historic wine catalogs searchable via crowdsourced transcription
We’ve digitized hundreds of catalogs from the famed distributor, Sherry-Lehmann. From the late 1930s through the 1950s, these beautiful illustrated brochures list prices from thousands of now rare bottles, helping to chart America’s appreciation for wine from France, Spain, Italy, and beyond.
Price the Vintage was a crowdsourcing web application used to help make these catalogs searchable by transcribing the information seen on the pages.
