About Open Wine Map

Reference map of wine appellations, generated automatically from public registers: the EU register of PDOs and PGIs, the national regulators, the Swiss federal repertoire of cantonal AOCs and the UK register of geographical indications.

Sources: INAO (INAO) for the French cahiers des charges and parcel boundaries, IGN (IGN) for French commune polygons, the EU geographical-indications register, the national regulators, Eurostat GISCO and Bétard 2022 for the other countries, OpenStreetMap and CARTO for the basemap, Wikipedia (fr.wikipedia.org) for a handful of narrative extracts (CC BY-SA 4.0), and VIVC (vivc.de), the Julius Kühn-Institut's Vitis International Variety Catalogue, for canonical grape names and variety numbers (citing Röckel et al.). Every Wikipedia excerpt is flagged where it appears. Full source list and licences in the README.

Part of the text is produced by language models: the terroir notes are extracted from the regulator's text and translated by Claude (Sonnet 4.6); the Wikipedia extracts in the grape and style tooltips are translated mostly by Mistral Small 3.2 running locally, and some by Claude; the cahier summaries were translated by a human translator, with a small machine-translated remainder. Each item carries its own attribution line in the panel.

21 European countries mapped (2,914 entries: 1,672 appellations and 1,242 related denominations). Further iterations will refine data quality and extend coverage beyond the EU, Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
