Happy Reading!
I first published this information in a post (“List of UK Wine Blogs”) in 2008, but it constantly needs updating.
Of course the list could be much more comprehensive, covering a broader range of wine sites. To be honest, that is better left to someone better technically qualified as the list would be long (if you want that, go to AbleGrape.com as I’m sure you’ll find the information you are looking for).
For the purposes of this list, I have chosen to concentrate on those sites that:
- are written in the UK (whether they are about this market or not, or even written in English!)
- provide Opinion, Commentary and/or Tasting Notes. I am not including news sites like Harpers.co.uk because of this, but I have included Decanter as they have a separate blog area, and included JancisRobinson.com as it achieves many of the same objectives even if 50% or more is subscriber only
I have also tried a very basic categorisation. These categories are not strict or mutually exclusive, but they do try to separate the blogs by the type of writing you can expect when following them.
I’m sure to have missed a few (yes, bloggers ought to do a better job of research, but I can update this list with your input, so effectively this IS my market research).
Hopefully this list will be useful to some other than just sp*mmers.
