FAQ
Searching
Why can’t I find what I’m searching for? Probably because you are a bit of a dill (like Mattinson) but a handy hint is enclosing your search in ” ” to narrow the selection. If you search on Green Point then all articles with the words ‘Green’ and ‘Point’ will be shown sorted in relevance order, however, if you search on “Green Point” then all articles must contain the two words together. The search function will be enhanced and upgraded in coming months.
What’s New?
Using the Digest function keeps you up to date with all recent activity. It currently shows the last 100 articles and wine reviews posted, the last 60 comments and the articles which have been most commented on.
What’s the quickest way to find my kind of wine?
Use the tags. They’re brilliant. You want to find all the best value wines that we’ve tasted recently? Click on the Top Value tag. You want to find the best Big Reds tasted recently? Or just the best wines full stop? Click on the Big Reds tag, or the Tip Top Tipple tag.
Scores
Why can’t I see the point rating of a wine? Because it’s only visible to subscribers. And let’s face it, a lot of people are only interested in the scores anyway.
Events Calendar
The Events Calender will contain wine related events such as Roadshows, Public Tastings, Retailer and Winery sponsored tastings. To list your event simply email us and we’ll pop it in - inclusion will be at our discretion of course.
Why can’t I comment on an article?
You need to be a registered user and current subscriber to do this.
How go I get a little picture next to my name in the comments?
You need to register a Gravatar. This stands for Globally Recognised Avatar and can be used on many similar internet sites. Register your Gravatar with the email address to which you subscribe to The Wine Front and it will appear shortly after that.
RSS Feeds
Really simple syndication updates can still be accessed even though content is restricted to subscribers. Go to the My Profile section in the log in section to access your RSS Private Token. If you don’t even know what RSS is you can read about it here.
If we’ve reviewed your wine can you see the review?
Of course you can - if you’re a subscriber. The Wine Front is not a free consultancy service (i.e. you provide a wine and we provide a view/review), it’s a subscriber-based wine site for consumers.
Can I reproduce a review from The Wine Front?
A subscription to The Wine Front allows access to all reviews and features. The subscription rate is not a reproduction fee. If you wish to reproduce any information or review from The Wine Front, please contact Gary Walsh and/or Campbell Mattinson for details on licensing/reproduction fees.
Other Stuff
More later when I think of it, or when you ask. It’s a start anyway…
