  • EngineerScotty 04:55, 20 August 2006 (UTC). I'm still a beer drinker at heart (beer has the distinct advantage of not costing USD $30--or orders of magnitude more--for a good bottle), but there's a lot of grapes to harvest on this subject. I'll focus mainly on Oregon wine, but probably (definitely) will have lots of suggestions. And since I probably couldn't distinguish a bottle of Grand cru Burgundy from two buck chuck without reading at the bottle :), I'll bring a different (and possibly) skeptical perspective to the party.

[edit] Nominations for Top Level Importance

Please sign underneath the nomination if you support its assessment as Top Level Importance. The endorsement of 5 or more wine project editors is needed for an article to achieve Top Level Importance. Also please add your own nominations if not already included here

A listing of articles that have already PASSED the selection process can be found here.

  1. Support - it's our main 'dictionary' list, Lists have only 'counted' for assessment purposes since yesterday. FlagSteward (talk) 19:43, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
  2. Support --Charleenmerced Talk 07:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
Motivation: For the moment, the project's Top category consists of 34 articles: 16 "geographic", 13 grape varieties and 5 general subjects. Of the 16 geographic articles, 10 are on countries (10 of the 11 largest wine producers), five are on regions in three of these countries, and only one (Chianti) is on a geographical area smaller than a wine region. To avoid overpopulation of the Top category, I believe it would be a good idea not to allow any smaller geographical areas than regions (i.e., the largest "chunks" a country is divided into) into it (and only very few regions). Presently, we have the following classification of importance for these three hierarchically linked articles: Italian wine: Top -> Toscana (wine): High -> Chianti: Top. My suggestion is therefore to change it to Top -> Top -> High, which I think would be more logical. Tomas e (talk) 22:06, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
  1. Against demotion of Chianti. Currently undecided about Toscana. --Charleenmerced Talk 07:41, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
