Lot 18 does Wine, Caskers does Spirits. Both sites use pretty standard ecommerce templates with tweaking. Lot 18 absolutely has done a ton of tweaking and great design work but the core remains the same. A gallery style page with big, friendly images. None of it is groundbreaking design work. Upon closer inspection, the user flow isn't very similar. I haven't looked at the source but there's a very thin line between taking inspiration from another sites interface and biting it wholesale. Copy Pasting = Bad, Taking the core concept and evolving it = good. I work at the same startup space with the Caskers guys and honestly, they look too busy killing it and expanding their business to be sitting there plotting how to steal Lot 18s swag.
