The Evolution of the Wine Blogging Conference

When we created the European Wine Bloggers Conference in 2008, we were under the impression that it would be a simple gathering for a handful of bloggers to chat about innovative ways we can better ourselves and our industry. Far be it for us to consider, not 3 years later, we would have the attention and interest of over 150 bloggers from 20+ countries! From a small gathering to an international phenomenon, the EWBC has taken on a life of its own. And yes, we are proud to announce that the 2010 EWBC is officially SOLD OUT! Mind you, this doesn't even begin to cover the breadth and depth of the wine blogger trade. The North American Wine Bloggers Conference attracted over 300 wine bloggers to their Walla Walla gathering in June, instigating well over 200 articles on the event. ...

Webinar TONIGHT: Eco-commercialization for the Wine Sector – Sign Up NOW!

Very exciting news! Our friends at the Burgundy School of Business are offering a FREE webinar on "Eco-commercialization for the Web Sector" and showcasing 3 experts in sustainability TONIGHT at 10:30GMT. Environmental issues are a topical issue in the wine sector at the moment. The challenge is that in this period when the wine sector is having to rely on its capacity to attract new consumers, the prospect of using such a complex topic as a communications tool is akin to trying to attract teenagers to the subject of science through the appeal of winning the Nobel prize. Given that a very small group of consumers would find interest in such an appeal, this webconference has been organised in order to help illustrate the challenges, and just how long it can take the wine ...

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.

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 ...
