Accessibility report for wine.com
Based on an automated WCAG 2.1 Level AA scan on July 5, 2026.
Web accessibility is a legal requirement, not an optional extra. An automated scan of wine.com found 4 types of barrier, measured against WCAG 2.1 Level AA — the standard U.S. courts apply under the ADA.
On this page, the most frequent barrier is "Some content on the page isn't inside a recognized region (header, nav, main, footer, aside)" — found on 4 elements. In total the scan flagged 9 issues across 4 categories of WCAG 2.1 Level AA.
WCAG 2.1 Level AA is the standard U.S. courts apply under the ADA, and the law across the EU under the European Accessibility Act. These barriers block screen-reader, keyboard-only, and low-vision users — and every one of them is fixable. Here's how.
What we found, and how to fix it
Some images on this page have no description for screen readers.
WCAG 1.1.1 (Level A) Section 508EN 301 549 Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Blind and low-vision users rely on screen readers to read pages aloud. When an image has no description, the screen reader either skips it entirely or reads out the file name — useless. Missing alt text is the #2 lawsuit-magnet category.
How to fix it: In your site editor, click each image and look for an 'Alt text' or 'Image description' field. Write a short sentence describing what the image shows or what it links to. For purely decorative images (dividers, background flourishes), enter empty alt text or check a 'decorative' box if the platform offers one.
This page has no 'main content' region marked.
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users press a single shortcut to jump to the main content, skipping menus and headers. Without a marked main region, they have to tab through everything.
How to fix it: Most modern platforms add this automatically. If yours doesn't, ask your developer to wrap the main content in a <main> element.
This page is missing a main heading (H1).
Affects screen-reader users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users use the H1 to confirm they landed on the right page. The H1 is also a strong SEO signal — Google uses it to understand what the page is about.
How to fix it: Add a clear, descriptive H1 to the top of the page. In website builders, this is usually the 'Title' or 'Page heading' setting. Each page should have exactly one H1.

Some content on the page isn't inside a recognized region (header, nav, main, footer, aside).
Affects keyboard-only users
Why it matters: Screen-reader users navigate by these regions. Content outside any region can be missed when skimming.
How to fix it: Developer fix: 'wrap orphaned page content in semantic landmark elements (<main>, <aside>, <nav>) so it's reachable via landmark nav'.
This is an automated scan and catches a portion of accessibility barriers; full WCAG 2.1 Level AA conformance also requires manual and assistive-technology testing. See our methodology for what we do and don't claim.
