You show that it is too low. So I'll raise all dollars by a consistent factor in the next issue. Nevertheless one should note that it's only the website that is assessed here. (The WineSpectator publishing arm is formally out of the scope.) Your list of <b>missing sites</b> is useful too. A few of them are not in English and this is why they will not appear. I see the others more like <b>resources/webapps</b> than author-driven sites. This is why they currently are not part of the contest. I am not so sure if this segregation is relevant. I will think about removing it: including the wine resources or the wine webapps. Or both. Hello Martin,
Thank you for your thoughtful remarks.

There are a bunch of top sites missing including; snooth, winezap, vinogusto, cellartracker, wineaccess, vinogusto, verema, and (of course) Wine-Searcher.com . PS: I will be in, if WineSpectator sell themselves for $54,000. It is really useful to have a list like this.

My readership numbers are moving up nicely! I love the concept and salute the great amount of work that went into compiling a such a interesting evaluation tool.

But I still do not show in your list. I am one of the largest (over 250 pages) and oldest (1995) wine websites. Using your metrics I get a 5 PageRank and Compete's Site Profile list traffic at over 4,000 (our internal logs show unique visits to be many, many times that). I would be interested to see where I rank on your list. I have mentioned before that you add my website, wineeducation.com. But I still do not show in your list.

Indeed the 89 Project qualifies. It will appear in a future list. It currently does not have <a href="http://blog.cellarer.com/evaluation-of-sites/" rel="nofollow">statistics</a> high enough. Thank you pointing these sites out. I would argue that Wine Twitters is not a site about wine but about wine internet personalities.
