Don't overlook this forum, the wine newsgroup. It's the original public
wine forum on the Internet -- by far -- turned 24 years old today. (See
separate birthday posting.) Lots of information archived and searchable
(currently on groups.google.com and elsewhere). It's not actually a "Web
site" but a broadcast forum -- these were around much longer than Web sites,
15 years longer -- but it's readily readable through many Web sites (some of
which indeed package its content as a draw).

Also, you can get the most help out of it by seaching archives for
specifics, then asking for what can't be found. And using a real name
(pseudonyms are a relatively recent fashion on Internet fora, like spam and
trolls.)

Hope this helps! -- Max
