Globalization: Globalization is the increasing interconnectedness and interdependence among countries around the world. It has influenced various industries, including wine production regions, by facilitating trade and expanding markets.
Terroir: Terroir refers to the unique combination of environmental factors (such as soil type, climate, topography) that contribute to the distinct characteristics of wine produced in a specific region. Understanding terroir is crucial when considering restructuring wine production regions.
Appellation: An appellation is a legally defined geographic area where grapes used for winemaking are grown. It ensures that wines produced within that region meet specific quality standards and allows consumers to identify wines from particular locations. Appellations play a role in restructuring wine production regions by defining boundaries and regulations.
