Weingut-martin’s excellent security-designed website

The wine webshop http://www.weingut-martin.de/ is this weeks winner of my brand new Best Security Ever award.

1. Visit their site, http://www.weingut-martin.de/
2. Find something you want to order.
3. Look at the link to Kaufen (buy): (link cut here to avoid very long line):
   http://www.weingut-martin.de/warenkorb.php?cmd=new \
   &bestell=2612 \
   &name=Homburger%20Kallmuth%20Silvaner%20Kabinett%20halbtrocken \
   &preis=4.80&tip=boxbeutel
4. Notice how preis (price) is part of this link. Don’t just click Kaufen to buy, copy the url and change the &preis variable to something like 0.50 and paste that link into your browser…
5. Cheap wine!

Now, I’m not saying you should actually go ahead and do this and finalize the order (which actually works). I’m just saying that that is a great security design right there. really thought-through.
