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.

Exciting news for wine bloggers!!!
What is Zemanta?
Zemanta is a plug-in that helps make your blog writing more efficient and effective by suggesting the most relevant images, smart links, keywords and text to your new blog posts. We've used this tool for over a year now, and have found it to be a life saver. Where it fell short of our expectations previously, was that it tended to offer non-wine related suggestions, leaving wine bloggers like us in the dark. Fortunately, this has changed!
Zemanta Now References English Wine Bloggers
Zemanta is now referencing English written wine blogs from Wineblogger.info in their directory. This means, that when I write a blog post on the increase of Chardonnay in ...

What if man still used stone tools from 2.6 million years ago, never advancing to the hammer or pneumatic nail gun?
What if smoke signals were still used to communicate messages across long distances, instead of the digital phone or via chat?
What if man still traveled solely by foot or raft rather than by car, ship, plane or spacecraft?
What if Gutenberg's creation of the printing press, first launched over 500 years ago, was considered the only viable tool to share information about wine?
Over the course of evolution, man has found newer, and at times, better ways of accomplishing a goal. Through logic, creativity and community, we have excelled past old ways of thinking and doing, by embracing change, growth and innovation.
The printing press is a tool that was, and still is, effective for ...
Image via CrunchBaseLookery, an advertising and user-targeting network for websites, has recently featured Wineblogger.net on their front page! Statistically, Lookery mentions that Winebloggers primary traffic source is from the USA, and more specifically, from California and Georgia. Why would we have so much traffic from Georgia? Any thoughts? (you must register with Lookery to see the full statistical break-down of Wineblogger.info).
Internationally, Sweden, Portugal, Netherlands and Spain are the four primary traffic sources, listed in consecutive order. What is interesting to me, is that neither the ...
How appropriate that we at Catavino was awarded the One Lovely Blog Award from Richard of Passionate Foodie, a friend and fellow wine blogger covering all culinary related topics in Boston. As many of you know, Catavino is the blog behind this site, but we felt it would be much more appropriate to highlight some of the fabulous wine blogs we've discovered through Wine Blogger, in addition to some foodie and tourism blogs we truly enjoy. That said, here is our list:

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, ...
