Useful links and ideas

As part of our media work with wine we often come across a number of interesting wine sites. Below is a list of different types of wine sites. This is not an exhaustive list of sites but a list of top sites you may want to consider looking at.

Wine education websites

If you are a budding homebrew wine maker, Great Homemade Wine. Has a step by step instructions how to make homemade wine from juice or grapes.

Buying Wines

While we would prefer you looked at the ThirtyFifty wine shop there are other excellent websites around that you can use to purchase wines. There are other organisations that sell wine on a monthly, quarterly or even yearly basis. Wineclubwizard.com has an excellent list of different wine clubs where you'll find information and reviews about wine clubs plus tips to increase your wine knowledge.

Perhaps the most useful site is Wine Searcher, a great place to locate and compare wine prices both in the UK and in other countries.
