Hi Pat,
The only resource I could find on a standard representation of wine
data is for a desktop application called The Wine Cellar Book (http://
www.thewinecellarbook.com/html/en/downloads.html), and example of
which can be seen here:
http://www.iro.umontreal.ca/~lapalme/ForestInsteadOfTheTrees/
CellarBook/showXML.cgi?CellarBook.xml
As part of the example collection process, it would certainly be
important to poll any wine-focussed web site developers about
industry data formats; one of which I know is involved with
Microformats. :)

Larry,
Is there a current recognized standard of categorizing wine? Something
along the lines of vCard corresponding with hCard? I know there are
several different scales, it seems there would need to be some way of
relating one scale with another in order to be able to extract
information in a usable manner.
Are you thinking some other system than ratings?
I like the thinking in this. I'd love to see extractable data on
Texas wines.

Hi...
Long time subscriber, first time writer.
Among other things, I collect wine; probably far too much for my own
good. With a variety of wine selling services and vendor aggregators
(eg. http://www.wineaccess.com/), amateur collector and review sites
(eg. http://www.corkd.com/), and professional review sites (eg.
http://winespectator.com/); I know I would personally find it useful
to be able to easily extract and aggregate this information.
For instance, I'd love to be able to grab my favorite wines from
http://calwineries.com/ and import them as wine in my collection on
http://corkd.com/. And in the more distant future be able to use a
search engine to locate what vendors have a wine, or what bloggers
have said about it.
Am I off base here, or would it be worthwhile to proceed and document
current wine markup practices?
