Finally, there is a proper internet wine merchant for Malaysian drinkers. It has to have the internet sales as a business model to be cost efficient. Their site is user friendly, no snob appeal traits, and relevant.
The majority of the wines are priced between RM50-100 with only a fraction of them above RM100. They deliver within 2-5 days for free, or pay RM30 for next day delivery, or you can pick them up from their HQ at Bandar Menjalara.
WineActually has been founded based on the following core founding principles:

Founders
WineActually was founded by Wilson Quah and Shaun Lee, two ex-London finance professionals turn wine enthusiasts.

They have also made it easy to navigate and make easy selections. They have wisely used the ratings given by Wine Advocate, Wine Spectator and Wine Enthusiast. Wines as a subject is so enormous with its regions, grapes, vintages, countries, ... and to most it is too much. Most of us just like to drink good wine at a reasonable price.
Just have a look at their wines rated 90+, great value. I ordered a few bottles of Catena Zapata Malbec 2007 and Bodega Luigi Malbec Reserva 2005, can't wait as they are from my favoured regions.
