As of yesterday the official PLCB product catalog website appears to be working again. It looks like most if not all of the data is coming from a different database than it previously was, so many of the product names and other descriptive data have changed. (Don't get excited though; product price and status changes since last week look fairly routine. Only the descriptive fields have changed significantly.)
Unfortunately it seems that this new database has about the same or worse accuracy than the old database. Misspellings in product names are still frustratingly common. The "proof" column is filled in for less than two-thirds of the listed spirits now, and many of the values listed are incorrect. Two dozen vintage-dated spirits no longer have the vintage year listed.
I'll email my contacts at the PLCB to get some of these errors fixed, but, as always, exercise care when ordering expensive items for the first time.
