[edit] Bordeaux wine

• Top Importance article, currently rated Start Class although probably better than that FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Burgundy wine

• Top Importance article, currently rated Start Class although again better than that FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cabernet Franc

• Just needs to be upgraded. --Charleenmerced ^Talk 15:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced
• Top Importance article, probably nudging B at the moment. FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Cabernet Sauvignon

• Top Importance article, currently rated as a Start Class but probably a bit better than that. Still, it's one that should be a FA? FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Chardonnay

• Top Importance article, currently Start Class - a no-brainer surely? FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
• this should be the next WID--Charleenmerced ^Talk 13:24, 11 April 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced

[edit] Chenin blanc

• Just needs to be upgraded. --Charleenmerced ^Talk 15:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced
• Already nudging B, would be a good one to do, but again I think the likes of Chardonnay are even more important FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] French wine

• Top Importance article, currently Start Class although better than that probably FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
• Yes! Urgently needed! This article is terrible for such a key subject. Poujeaux 18:47, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Grenache

• Top Importance article, currently Start Class, although not in bad shape FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Malbec

• Imp in France and now Argentina. --Charleenmerced ^Talk 15:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced
• Again would be a good one to do once the no-brainers are out of the way, but it's not in bad shape at the moment FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pinot blanc

• Just needs to be upgraded. --Charleenmerced ^Talk 15:06, 25 March 2007 (UTC)Charleenmerced
• Again, I think we have higher priorities at the moment, but it needs more attention than many of the other grape articles here FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sangiovese

• Top Importance article, currently Start Class and needing a lot of work FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] South African wine

• Top Importance article, currently Start Class and needing work FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sparkling wine

• Top level article but only start class. Such a major style of wine deserves at least GA status. ◄scharks► 11:02, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

• Definitely could do with the clean up, and it is such an important and often confused portion of the wine industry. Dancingredshoes 00:21, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

• I agree, although it's in a better state than other candidates FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Vitis vinifera

• Top Importance article, currently Start Class, in reasonable shape FlagSteward 11:23, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
