To mark internationalwineday (May 25th) we decided we’d ask ChatGPT to come up with a top 10 list of wine blogs!
A wine blog is a great way to discover more about wine – not just from experts but also from enthusiasts. Blogs can also bring wine to life in a different way to an article as it allows more freedom for the writer to really express their emotions and thoughts about wine.
