[edit] Wine Improvement Drive articles

• Languedoc wine - Current
• Carmenère - GA March 6th 2007.

[edit] Articles to translate from other Wiki's

• Rioja - the Spanish language wiki page has a very interesting history section, for example.

[edit] Current volunteer translators

• Spanish: User:Charleenmerced
• French: User:Mroconnell - You should send me requests without hesitation and I'll do what I can.
• Catalan: User:MIckStephenson - Probably not much call for it, but I could use the practice!
• Hungarian: User:Balazs.varadi - Again, might not be of huge interest, but I am ready to pitch in.
• Italian:

User:LAMM707 - Hope I can be of help.

User:Ian Spackman - no expert in the language or in the wine, but there are billions of articles to translate and I I offer my services as the first of the millions of collaboraters LAMM707 will need! Now you can do me a good turn in advance of those translations. The weekend after next I shall be in the Val Cordera, just north of Lake Como. What should I make absolutely sure of drinking?

[edit] Infoboxes

• {{Infobox Wine Region}} for wine regions (AVAs, AOCs, etc.)
• {{Template:Infobox Winery}} for vineyard / wineries, tailored for US (may need some work)
• {{Template:Infobox French Winery}} for vineyard / wineries, tailored for France (definitely need some work!)
