Thanks D. Registration is required but the link works for those with
a cookie.

Amusing to see Luneau-Papin -- as recently discussed here -- mentioned.

Less amusing to see that afw is a thing of the past. Up with usenet, say I.
We have, none the less, and in the face of trolls and robots, managed to
keep this one of the most civilized corners of the 'net.

cheers,

Great article - thanks for posting.

Gee - if internet wine geeks can push obscure wines into popularity,
and "Sideways" can throttle sales of Merlot, will this article spell
the doom of interent wine forums? chuckle ..

Hi Emery. I don't read it so. Rather that at one time, online wine fora
consisted of Internet newsgroups and (later, though he doesn't mention that)
those offered by private subscription services (which tried to compete with
the Internet, which again he doesn't mention). I took it to imply that the
wine newsgroup was pioneering.

Agreed!
