The big WINE word on top of the portal made the portal look messy, it doesn't look nice at all. Can someone help me to change the it to other font type. Or maybe a simple PNG or SVG transparent image can be created to replace them. It looks really horrible.(X Arteyu ? Blame it on me ! 06:10, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
I ran across this picture on Wikipedia Commons. I don't know about anyone else, but I think it would make a more interesting lead picture for this portal than a boring ol' glass of wine. It's cute, and adds some levity to this portal. (I also recently used this picture on my invitations to a combination baby shower / wine tasting party.)
The phrase "alcohol, love, and music" describes serious subjects. On the other hand, the rephrasing "wine, women, and song" seems more festive and fun.
Anyone in favor of balancing the portal a little over to the latter point of view? After all, most of us drink wine for pleasure. ~ Amatulić ( talk) 21:43, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
Shouldn't Portugal be on there somewhere? I mean, Argentina's there and they aren't as well known for their wines as Portugal is (Madeira, Porto) 189.25.150.8 ( talk) 23:30, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
May I guide your interest go Talk:Last of the Summer Wine? Please, excuse me, writing in English is not my size. Clausthal ( talk) 12:08, 20 May 2010 (UTC)
Greetings, not sure if this is the right place to discuss, it seems to have been pretty quiet lately; but I have updated the Grape variety Infobox Template (and documentation) to add a vivc_number field, which if given will provide a link to the Vitis International Variety Catalogue online database. It took me a few goes to get it right—sorry if I caused any inconvenience—as I had to wrestle with {{#if:}} to get it to only display the link if it is provided. So, feel free to update your favourite grape variety article with the VIVC number, which you can search for on the VIVC online database cultivar search. The VIVC variety page will also give you some nifty information you can use to fill out any missing bits of the Infobox.
Secondly, there are some handy online open data sources about grape growing areas by variety and country. A handy one that I've been using is maintained by the University of Adelaide and was published in 2013 as the book Which Winegrape Varieties are Grown Where? A Global Empirical Picture (paperback, or free PDF download). The database the book is based on has statistics for both 2000 and 2010 years, and is available to explore online here, or you can download the Excel file (3.5 MB).
I have used these sources as well as books like the Oxford Companion (4ed.) to create the missing Corvinone article, as well as update the growing area information and add missing infoboxes to Corvina, Rondinella, Molinara, and Sagrantino articles (spot the Valpolicella fan).
My random thoughts:

WikiProject Portals is back!
The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.
As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.
There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.
Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.
And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.
From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely, — The Transhumanist 07:50, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
This portal is about grape wines, but there are many other alcoholic drinks that are called "wines", but are made from rice, barley, and other grains. Should they have their own portal? They aren't quite beer, not quite wine in the traditional sense, and are not distilled like other alcohols. Sdpg33 ( talk) 00:15, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
I removed
{{WikiProject Portals|importance= |quality= }}
from the top of this page since it was expanding to 2MB of HTML, which caused templates to not work any more. See Category:Pages where template include size is exceeded. I suspect the problem is in Template:WikiProject Portals or the call to it, or in Module:Portal maintenance status. davidwr/( talk)/( contribs) 04:20, 6 February 2020 (UTC)
