Hi James I own a wine importing company and have like you thought about a wine microformat for sometime. I have done a little bit of work on this. Maybe we could combine out thoughts and submit a new microformat for review to this list?

I recently launched a wine information aggregation site (http://www.scrugy.com) that, among other things, recognizes wine tasting notes formatted using hReview on web pages and in RSS feeds. I've discussed how this is implemented and other thoughts on my blog (http://blog.scrugy.com). Of course http://www.corkd.com is already using hReview (and Scrugy is aggregating those wine reviews) but I've recently started spreading the word about the potential of wine & microformats with folks in the online wine community (wine community sites, wine bloggers, and so on). Let me know if you'd like to get involved. All- At this point I'd like to begin proposing and documenting how wine information and microformats can be used together. My question is what is the best way to get this done? Since discussion would get very specific to wine, would the microformats wiki be an appropriate place for this? Or would it be better to start a new wine specific wiki where people from the wine industry can collaborate on how wine & microformats can be used together. Of course the wine specs would build upon and follow the microformat principles but I'm thinking that a wine-specific site would be more effective at promoting microformats within the wine community itself. I'd appreciate anyone's thoughts on this.
