Some of these sites employ databases
to find, sort and present contact information and/or links; most sites
(like PfW) simply have pages of links. One common conundrum in both
is to prevent the pages from becoming too-oversized for the average
dial-up modem to resolve in a reasonable time. Additionally, some
server-based technologies seem to have difficulty maintaining logical
organizational schemes for grouping and sorting their content ...
(or lazy humans doing incomplete coding).

vine2wine,
provides annotated links, organized in categories, to over 2000 wine
web sites. As the URL implies, links from the vineyards and wineries
all the way through to places to buy a bottle; in between there are
information resources, travel and accommodation sites, marketing groups,
appreciation organizations and clubs, as well as personal pages. Newly
redesigned for speed and ease of use, a great resource for wine lovers
from the novice to the pro.

Wine Directory
organizes wiine-themed links
by general topic and displays them in alphabetical order, although
this default scheme
is frequently co-opted by "premium" listings and Google
Ads.
Wine
Guide uses server technology
to assemble page content; rhyme, rhythm, or order to the results remains
a mystery; interesting, but needs some refinement.
