A: Of late, the forum I enjoy is the Wine Lovers forum, and in particular the Dan Murphy's and Other Wine Deals thread.

I do also keep my eye on the threads around Virgin Australia, Singapore Airlines and Alaska Air as they have been 3 of my most used points programs over the past 4-5 years for travel.
