The articles about wines seem greatly biased... I also don't considered the French wines to be best. But this is a bit too faar don't you think? It seems a promotion of California wines. And it is in every article about wines... --Pedro 17:19, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bias

I agree, this article is very biased towards promoting Californian wines. This article should display all top ten wines for each category, regardless of origin.

Uncited and implausible reference

I've removed the following sentence which was added by IP 203.5.70.1:

The original Wine Olympics occurred in Cameroon. The festivities had to be halted when Hiau Roach, was drinking a Pinot Noir and accidentally swallowed the cork. After this occurrence the "bottle" event was cancelled due to health and safety concerns.

It seems extrememly unlikely to me that someone could 'accidentally swallow a cork', but if someone knows better, please re-add it, citing suitable reference! sjwk (talk) 00:57, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
