Spit & Twit #sptw@winetwits

For Spit & Twit we have devised a 10 to 12 character hashtag to identify the individual wines. Our beta methodology is based upon a standardized identifier on the first 5 characters with the remaining characters designated on an individual level.

The first two characters are universal country url suffixes. Thus wines from Australia begin with AU, German wines DE, French FR and so on.

The next three characters identify the region and are unique to each country. Example RIO is Rioja, RIV is Rioja Alavesa, RIT is Rioja Alta. RID is Riberio Del Duero.

The next three are free to be assigned based upon winery, vineyard, label name or any other designation the producer wishes to use. Market forces would govern the allocation of these characterS. The last two to four characters are a standardized numerical vintage year. Two additional characters can be used for varietal coding

This methodology is developmental and by no means exhaustive, we intend it as a framework to encourage discussion, and welcome contributions to this open source standard.
