Today we’re really happy to announce another addition to Zemanta: we’ve added over 500 blogs from wineblogger.info English directory of great Wine blogs.

This means that it’s going to be even easier for you to discover fellow wine lovers blogs posts as well read their thoughts on the same topic that you’re just writing a blog post on.

Related posts will show up in article section automatically. Blogs featured in Wineblogger.info will also benefit from this as thousands for Zemanta bloggers will be able to easily discover their blog posts as well as link to them.

For the ones that are not familiar with wineblogger.info, they describe themselves as:

The new wineblogger.info is a place to discover wine blogs of all languages, locations and topics. With time, we will fine tune the categories within each section in order to make this a truly comprehensive list.

The key is that the niche of wine blogging is growing fast and a maintained and updated list of wine blogs is something that is needed to better document the topic. We review the sites as often as possible to make sure that their are current and not abandoned. With time we also hope to add new categories and some “special extras” as we find new ways to organize the data.

Wineblogger also maintains a blog that ranges from topics on wine blogging tools, and the culture of wine writing as a whole. We are always open to collaboration ideas, and suggestions.
