Actively Seeking International Winebloggers to Contribute to Palate Press, An Online Wine Magazine

palate2David Honig began his blogging career in politics and political cartoons. After suffering through eight years of the Bush Administration, he decided it was time to relax with a nice glass of wine. 2 Days per Bottle, his first wine blog, explores wines over two days to get an idea of its cellar life and drinking window. Soon he started to notice variations in wine scores, particularly in the cluster around one particular score, and the group blog The 89 Project was born. As he got more involved with the wine blogging world David noticed that there was a tremendous amount of knowledge and talent, but it was spread so thinly across the internet that terrific content often disappeared before anybody noticed it. ...

Almost 1,000 Active Wine Blogs Have Been Registered!

Having just come back from the American Wine Bloggers Conference held in Santa Rosa, California, where wine bloggers across North America gathered together in an effort to better both the wine blogging field and the wine trade in general, it is with great pride that we announce our growing numbers. To date, we have reached 952 wine blogs, ranging in style, location, type and subject matter. As you will readily see, almost half of all blogs registered on Wineblogger.info are written in English. And of those, Regional and General Wine blogs take center stage with approximately 200 sites registered. Interestingly, blogs written in French are the second most registered wine blogs, yet seem to be the least represented in major wine networks like the European Wine Bloggers Conference and the Open Wine Consortium. What ...

Calling all Wine Blog Lovers!! Please Participate in this Survey!

Wine blogs under the MicroscopeAlthough wine blogging is not a new endeavor, it is one that is lacking in thorough, meticulous research. Despite the fact that several wine bloggers, including ourselves, have attempted to gather information on the wine blogging community, these surveys cannot be chalked up to thorough and objective scientific research. The surveys were our best attempt to have a rudimentary understanding of both who we are as wine bloggers and the people who read them. Tracy Rickman, a Consumer Research doctoral candidate at Auburn University is dedicating her dissertation to wine blogs as an information source. Today she comes to us with a very simple request, please fill out her survey on wine blogs to help her further her research. Her intentions are purely ...

VinTank Is Calling All Wine Bloggers to Tell Us Who You Are!

From time to time, we plan on publishing press releases, or any document we feel could benefit the wineblogging community as a whole. Here is the first copy and paste job from our friends at VinTank, a new start up of Paul Mabray and Joel Vincent. While we know they are both friends of the wine blogging world, their new business venture is still rather unknown to us. That said, they are asking all wine bloggers to participate in a survey to better understand who we are. Clearly, we can't argue with that, but we just hope they share some of the results with us here at Wineblogger.info. Please read the release and then take the survey.
