Online Retail Industry Awards is held annually where "for one night, in one place, the best online retailers in Australia will come together under one roof", and the best Australian online retailers are awarded. Apparently this year's awards were given out last Thursday, and here are the list of winners. In particular, Vinomofo has won the Online Retailer of The Year. Not sure recent increase of referral posts on Vinomofo deals has anything to do with that.
