The Winemaker’s Database is now a part of vintrace

Welcome to the future of winery management: WMDB joins the Encompass/vintrace family

In 2022, The Winemakers Database (WMDB) joined forces with Encompass Technologies and its distinguished winery management software division, vintrace. This transition marks a new chapter after nearly three decades of dedicated service to the wine industry by WMDB founders Jim and Emily Vahl, who have now embarked on new ventures. The Vahls have always valued the deep relationships built through WMDB, a sentiment echoed in their confidence that Encompass/vintrace is ideally suited to carry forward these enduring partnerships.

Reflecting on the transition, Jim Vahl noted, "We have customers today who were with us from the start—nearly thirty years ago. The wine industry is fundamentally about relationships, and Encompass/vintrace is perfectly positioned to nurture these connections across the entire spectrum, from our longstanding clients to new prospects."

Jim and Emily carefully selected Encompass/vintrace for their commitment to the long-term success of the wine industry and their esteemed reputation across the broader beverage market.
