Looking for that next superlative bottle? Rather than leafing through the snooty pages of wine mags, or combing shady recommendation sites covertly run by The Drinks Group, Ltd, (proud distributors of Mad Dog), check out Snooth.

Snooth's the world's largest vino-database -- a burgeoning repository of 300,000+ wines, all meticulously sorted, categorized, tagged, and rated by sommeliers/enthusiasts/compulsive raters. To keep this boozy trove from becoming unwieldy, the site offers almost infinitely tweakable search results based on price, vintage, region, varietals, or flavor: crisp, spicy, earthy, rich, even the Colonel-matic "good with fried chicken". If you simply want a rec, pick something from the SnoothRanks -- outstanding wines selected through a proprietary algorithm that weighs reviews, number of reviews, and the reputation of the source (sorry, Man-on-Stoop).

As there's apparently room on the Web 2.0 bandwagon, Snooth also lets you create a Facebook-y profile and rate/review wines -- leading to Amazonian "You may also likes" that'll confirm AwesomeWine.com's suggestion that you buy a case of Thunderbird.
