The Best RSS Feeds for the Wine Lover

RSS (Real Simple Syndication) is a format for syndicating web site content to readers. For example, a news site may create an RSS feed of top stories. You would run an RSS "aggregator" which would download the RSS feed regularly and display the top stories to you in an easy to read format. Click a link in the aggregator to go to the news site to see the full story.

If you use an RSS reader (try Google's if you need one), you can bring content from many different wine sites directly to you. Here are just a few of the top ones:
The retailer feeds are great. If you pay attention to your aggregator, you can often scoop new wines right when the retailer adds them to inventory before the general public finds them.

Did I miss any feeds - please add a comment with a link.

Hi Michael,

Well, there are many high quality feeds to consider (Some top sites offering feeds may be found on my site's "Wine Blogs Tasting Room" page and the "100 Top Wine Blogs" page). However, in keeping with your list here I thought I might suggest the WineAbout blog by Virginie Boone from the Santa Rosa Press Democrat newspaper, covering the Northern California wine country. The link to her feed is: http://wineabout.pressdemocrat.com/rss.asp?id=F07161D7-7479-43DC-AE4B-D17C29F0FF67

Very helpful post. There are not may resources out there that point to RSS feeds on wine topics.
