Agree, wouldn’t want to see this inclusion.

Also yeah, Vivino is a decent app (and now website) for basic reviews, tracking and finding good wine (founded by some guys here in Copenhagen)

would this make wineries and vineyards subject to takeover by AB-InBev? if so, then I vote yes.

Plenty of wine rating sites already.

Yup, Cellartracker is pretty much the way to go - once you get the hang of adding wines, which is quite complicated, you’re set.

I guess if this was to be added to the database, next to a shitload of work it’ll rise RB above any rating database on the internet containing beers, ciders, sakes, perrys, meads and wines...
But reading the responses I am on the lone trail here...
Anyways, talking doesn’t kill, always in to read about the pros and cons...

I dunno.

Sake is closer to beer than to wine in the sense that the sugar first needs to be made available for fermentation.

Cider and Mead can be argued to belong here because no one else seems to include them (and many beer drinkers appreciate them).

While certainly many beer drinkers appreciate wine, rating wine is just something that is different. The wine community already has their established scales of rating (which are different from our system), their guides, their rating communities. Plus, it would probably be a bigger addition to the database than the beer database as a whole and not just "ah, let’s include wine as well." It wouldn’t be "rate beer and other sorta related things", but "rate fermented beverages".
