Although I have much respect fro alt.food.wine, sometimes more authoratative forums develop outside the usenet. For example, I refer to saxontheweb.net for the most active, authoratative opinions instead of the usenet. Likewise, are there more authoratative, or more active and classified forums on wine?
This forum is authoritative enough, believe me!
Other active forums include Robin Garr's Wine Lovers Discussion Group (WLDG) and Mark Squires' Wine Bulletin Board on eRobertParker.com.

Steve Tanzer on the International Wine Cellar site also has a message board but it is difficult to know how authoratitve the posters are.
In addtion to those already mentioned, take a look at
