Winegrowing Regions of the World 2007

Laburpena

This digital atlas of the major winegrowing regions of the World delineates winegrape producing regions as provided by Oz Clark's (2007) . The shapefile comprises a total of 302 polygons distributed across 6 continents and its purpose is to develop spatially explicit analyses of winegrowing at a large or global scale (note that fine scale resolution analyses are not recommended based on this dataset given the resolution of the original maps). The map is not comprehensive, as it lacks regions developed after 2007 and some regions depicted only have marginal winegrape production (e.g., southeastern US, central Mexico, areas of Mongolia, north island of Japan).
