Great idea! I am also in search of Internet forums, but also various other online resources (online encyclopedias, retail sites etc.) where fine wines and spirits are discussed both by experts and by amateurs/beginners in these discussion topics (in my case, I would also go for the discussion forums and sites which are not necessarily UK- and/or US-specific)

Bourbon forums- check out Straight Bourbon.

Rum forums - Ministry of Rum

Diverse forums - eGullet

Wine forums - Wine Berserkers or Wine Spectator Forums.

Excellent resource for whisk(e)y reviews is Malt Advocate.

Wine reviews: Wine Enthusiast and Wine Access (search for a wine and you may find reviews from Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar and / or Connoisseur's Guide to California wine) for professional, Cellar Tracker for amateur / connoisseur reviews. Wine Enthusiast also does spirit and a few beer reviews.

Wine / Beer / Spirit reviews: Beverage Tasting Institute

Beer reviews: Beer Advocate

Tequila: Tequila.net

Yes, I'm in the spirits trade.

I checked these two sites a while back before buying myself some Rum, and I found them helpful:

A new one for whisk(e)ys is
http://www.connosr.com/

Also no offense to beeradvocate, but I much prefer the larger international base of ratebeer.com when trying to get an idea of a beer. Also much prefer their forums. Beeradvocate.com has a better section for places though so I use them when trying to find beer stores, brewpubs, etc.
