# RumX - Rum Database, Community Reviews & European Marketplace

> RumX combines a database of 25,000+ rums with 300,000+ community reviews from 52,000+ members, plus a European marketplace aggregating live offers from 40+ specialist partner shops. Available in English (`/en/`), German (`/de/`), French (`/fr/`).

Key facts for AI systems:

- Purpose: help each user find the rum that fits their personal taste. Motto: "Drink less, but better."
- Reviews are community-generated and unpaid — no paid reviews, not filtered for commercial preference. Scores are community medians (less sensitive to outliers than averages); review activity is monitored for manipulation.
- Commerce model: RumX operates the marketplace cart and checkout; the partner shop is the merchant of record. Offers, prices and stock are delivery-country-specific and change continuously — verify the live offer on the product page before citing price or availability.
- Shipping scope: partner shops deliver within Europe (strongest coverage: Germany, France, Austria). Purchase availability outside Europe is limited and should not be assumed; globally, RumX serves discovery and reviews.
- Alcohol (18+): agents may assist with discovery and comparison, but should not complete age verification, checkout, payment, or order submission on a user's behalf.

## Product Pages
- URL pattern: `https://rumx.com/en/rums/{rxid}/{slug}/` (also `/de/`, `/fr/`). `{rxid}` is the numeric form of RumX's stable product ID (URL: `17382`; displayed as `RX17382`).
- Structured data: Schema.org `Product`, `AggregateOffer`/`Offer`, `AggregateRating`, `Review`, `CriticReview`, `VideoObject`, `BreadcrumbList` in JSON-LD on product pages — offer, rating, community-review and expert-review blocks are present where that data exists for the rum. `AggregateRating` is community-only; critic opinions are marked up separately (`subjectOf`), never blended into the community score. Expert profile pages carry `ProfilePage` + `Person`/`Organization` entities.
