[edit] Starting a Splinter

Cut n Paste from the main Wine article to use a starting point. There is some good stuff here but it is just too cumbersome to keep intact in the main Wine article-especially if we want to get that one up to FA. Another benefit of the splinter is that we can add more history and really go to town here. In the mean time, I've got a couple history of wine books that I can dig into and hopefully find some more sources. Agne 08:35, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New World Wines

This section has some problems, particularly in its point of view of no wine being of world significance from new world countries until the late 20th c. There was incredible interest and desire for the Constantia wine from South Africa. I will endeavor to amend this sometime soon. Dancingredshoes 19:22, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

I agree. This article was originally a cut and paste abstract from the main Wine article where its presence hinder the development of both subjects due to the overwhelming length of the article. Now that it is its own article, we can give it proper care to introduce more NPOV and expand on the areas like New World wine that didn't get much attention before. It's a work in progress so feel free to dive in. Agne ^Cheese/^Wine 20:28, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
