In Australia, I've heard of Winefile (DBase, I think), EzyWine
(Foxpro), and the Advantage suite from TSM. Oh, and WIM (from Oracle),
but that's still being piloted - and probably doesn't suit smaller
operations anyway.
For the US, I'd heard of AMS, eSkye,WiPS, Advantage (by Modular), and
Vinsight.
All these are described as software suites, which manage from the
vineyard to sale of finished product. The review of WMDB I saw put it
in the 'Wine Production" category, meaning it was more specialised.

Mike, had you heard of any of these others?
