One of my most enjoyable guilty pleasures has always been web scraping. Especially during the past year I have scraped countless websites, both for fun and profit. From niche and mainstream e-shops to news outlets and literary blogs, it is amazing how much interesting and clean data one can get by using simple tools like BeautifulSoup - I won't even mention what a joy Chrome's Headless mode has been.

In this post I'll play with the data I scraped from a Greek wine e-shop. In lieu of apology for sending a few more requests to their server I urge everyone browse through their catalog and maybe even buy a few bottles.

The scraper itself is fairly simple and can be found on my GitHub page. Here I'll focus on doing some quick exploratory analysis on the data I got (1125 unique labels) by using standard python packages.
