Back when I first started using the internet newsgroups were a great way to gather information. This was before forums and blogs, but they still hold some good information. I thought I would share a few links to help get you started on Google Groups. If you prefer to use a third party newsgroup application - just add these links to your reader. Otherwise just click on the links below to go to these specific groups.

rec.crafts.winemaking - dedicated to the discussion of the process, recipes, tips, storage, techniques and general exchange of lore on the process, methods and history of wine making. This group is to be general enough to encompass both traditional grape wines as well as wines which are generally described as country wines, sparkling wines, and champagnes. In general, the appropriateness of a particular beverage will be determined by the process involved in its making. Essentially, if the process used is that of winemaking, then the discussion is considered appropriate. This may include such beverages as cider or mead. It is recognized that there are topics, which are of interest to both wine makers and brewers, and posting and cross posting of such topics, is considered both appropriate and desirable. Personal stories and experiences shall be welcome as long as they pertain to the craft of wine making.

alt.food.wine - welcomes all questions relating to wine (in relation to consumption and food pairing), though questions
concerning winemaking might get more responses in the related newsgroup
rec.crafts.winemaking.
