How to read the maps

Start on the world map and click a pale country. It zooms in and shows its regions.
Shaded areas show roughly where a region lies. Where a region is smaller than any official district, a round shape marks its rough extent. These areas are approximate, not legal boundaries.
Open a region to see it close up, with its best-known appellations and wine towns, and links to the people who define it.

Wine is easiest to understand as a place.

Before the grape, the label or the price there is a hillside, a river, a climate, and someone who decided to plant vines there. Each region here is placed on a real map, with the appellations and towns that give it its name.
