Looking for a few good reads about South African wines? Here are our ten favourite South African wine sites to keep you informed ... or just in good spirits:

  • wine.co.za – a website dedicated to the SA wine industry offering news, views, reviews, events and more. wine.co.za
  • Grape – a website of epic blog proportions with four dedicated wine bloggers (well-respected in the wine world), a guest blog, and a space for Grape readers to contribute too. grape.co.za
  • Pendock Uncorked – a witty blog about all that is wine. Neil Pendock has been called "South Africa's most influential wine writer" by DrinksBiz and some of his thoughts on wine will have you in stitches. blogs.timeslive.co.za/pendock
