Where do grapes to make wine come from?

Grapes used for winemaking are mainly grown in vineyards. Vineyards are specialized farms dedicated to growing grapes for the production of wine. They are primarily located in favourable climatic and soil conditions for viticulture, the process of growing grapes. Grape cultivation involves specific techniques, such as pruning, irrigation, and canopy management, to ensure that the grapes reach optimal maturity and quality for winemaking.

Viticultural regions are recognized worldwide for their unique characteristics and grape varieties that are well-suited for wine production. Some notable wine regions include:

- Europe: France (Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace, etc.), Italy (Tuscany, Piedmont, Veneto, Sicilia, etc.), Spain (Rioja, Priorat, Ribera del Duero, etc.), Germany (Mosel, Rheingau, etc.), and Portugal (Douro Valley, Vinho Verde, etc.).

- North America: Napa Valley and Sonoma County in California (USA), Willamette Valley in Oregon (USA), Okanagan Valley in British Columbia (Canada), Niagara Peninsula in Ontario (Canada), and Guadalupe Valley in Baja California (Mexico).

- South America: Mendoza, Salta, and Patagonia in Argentina, Chile's Central Valley and Colchagua Valley, Uruguay (Canelones), and Brazil (Serra Gaúcha).
