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. ...

Wine Bloggers – One shoe does “not” fit all

Wine Blogger Logo 500pxA bit of crowd sourcing for today. I have a question. With all this talk of ethics, and what a wine bloggers should be, I've wanted to begin the process of sorting out who wine bloggers really are. I say this because it's naive and silly to assume that all wine bloggers are created equal and therefore, should be held to the same standards. Should a Winery Blogger be just as objective as a Wine blog that rates wines? No, I'm pretty sure we can agree on that. What about a blog like Catavino.net where we do not rate wines? We do talk about wines we like, and we do try to disclose possible conflicts of interest, but we are not giving out points to wines in an ...

Andrew Barrow of Spitton.biz on Wine Blogging

andrew-barrow 1. Why do you feel wine blogging is not a fad? or is it? A fad? I've been going for several years now, others for much longer, but it is only recently that the format has begun to be taken seriously by the wine trade in the UK - or some of them at least. ‘Blogging' has been saddled with the personal diary moniker from its early existence and to its detriment since. But taken as a way to (self) publish and gain a unique and dedicated audience many realize it has potential. 2. What is one thing wine blogs get right? The personal touch. I'm not talking about how your wife was late for work and burnt the porridge or how sick your cat is this week - blogs have moved on from ...

No More Predictions – Top 10 Things that WON’T Happen in the Online Wine World in 2009

Instrumental temperature record of the last 15... Image via Wikipedia I'm sick of it! Amateur prognosticators trying to tell us what trends to look for in 2009 when it comes to wine, the internet and social media. In then end, almost everyone starts out, "Well, last year I had almost none of my predictions come true, but I'll try again..." Do us a favor, and don't. That said, I can tell you one thing: what won't happen this year! Or rather, I'll place odds of 10 to 1 on any of the following items actually occurring. Seeing that we're here in Spain, I can guarantee that Spanish wineries will not move away from FLASH web design in favor of something useful, ...
