Open Wine Consortium

I've never really had the time or inclination to get involved in all those social network sites; facebook et al leave me more than a little non-plussed and apathetic.

The stories and rumours surrounding a social network dedicated to the wine scene have final been realised with the launch of The Open Wine Consortium. Not wanting to miss out on anything vaguely wine/blog related I've joined!

The main idea behind this site is to create a place to facilitate networking in and around the wine industry and technology leaders. The site is the home of the the OpenWine Consortium, an industry consortium designed to educate the media, the business community, and each other on new, open standards based technology that are changing the wine industry and to spread the word of wine through an online world of wine drinkers. Ultimately, together we're able to bring a whole legion of wine lovers, online and offline, together to enjoy the fruits of our labor."

For those from the blogging side of things there is a Bloggers Wine Group to join, while those hoping to attend the European Wine Bloggers Conference later this year have their own group too.

If you join don't forget to make me a 'friend'!

thanks for posting this. I must get around to doing the same.

We need more active members like you.

Thanks for the mention of the conference too. I am having various fruitful conversations with people at the moment about the European Wine Bloggers' Conference and might even get some press coverage in the near future.

p.s. I liked the podcast. When does the national column start?
