Oups, this package of WikiProject Wine articles (selected according to the criteria for context, relevance and article quality) was originally intended to be submitted before the deadline! Sorry about that.

OK, I've looked over all of these, for the "late add" section. I picked a few, mainly (a) articles good for context or (b) articles where the assessment was either updated since the bot, or if it seemed a bit out of date. I didn't just add articles without some compelling reason, though - things like the Alsace and Languedoc ones would be nice additions, but many projects could add similar articles, and that would bloat the list too much. Many of these could make it onto the next selection, though, particularly if Starts/Cs become Bs, and Bs become GAs or FAs. Thanks for taking the time to nominate these!
