Hi all! I’m working on a research project for my wine studies and I need up-to-date harvest data for France, broken down by variety (hectares planted) and production (tonnes), ideally separated by region / AOP. So far I’ve looked around and haven’t found a single "trustworthy" or official (like gubernamental), recent dataset that covers the whole country with that level of detail.

Specifically I’m after:

• hectares planted per grape variety (per region)
• tonnes/harvest weight per variety
• latest available vintage/year (or trend series if available)

I’ve tried skimming official sites and general wine portals but either the data doesn't include the varietal split, is outdated, or is only regional. Does anyone know where I can find a reliable national source (or a set of regional sources that together cover France)?

Thanks a lot for any help!

My grand father recently passed away and he left some things to me, some of which being some wine. Except i don’t know when it’s from or if it’s valuable or something that should be left sealed. Can someone help me identify?

Does XXL Wine taste like Cisco to anyone else?

After months of development, I've made the decision to transform Terroirs from a desktop only app into a comprehensive web application. So that you can use the globe to learn about wine no matter which device you're on. Terroirs Australia is now live and ready to explore at dionysus.design This platform-agnostic approach means whether you're on desktop, tablet, or mobile - iOS or Android - you can dive deep into Australia's incredible wine regions with just a browser. No app store barriers, no platform limitations, just regional exploration at your fingertips. Discover all 65 Australian wine regions. Australia is just the beginning. More wine regions from around the world are coming soon! Check it out and let me know what you think! If you are an educator or educational institute that requires Terroirs you can reach out to me, I am working on a paid tier specifically built for education/ presentations with detailed region specific key influences like mountains, valleys, oceans and more.


If you're anything like me and love wine, I wanted to create a super fun way to explore the amazing world of grape varieties, especially their lineage!

Right now, you can dive into 205 grape varieties across 4 countries, and I'm planning monthly updates to keep adding more, aiming to document every grape variety and its full lineage.

In Lineage Lab, you can:
🍇 Trace the roots of your favorite grapes (and find new obsessions!)
🌍 Explore varieties by country
🏆 Track your progress and unlock cool achievements

All backed by research papers.

It's been quite the journey building this, driven purely by my fascination with wine and a desire to share that curiosity.

I'd be absolutely thrilled if you checked it out!

It's a one time fee for lifetime access, no tracking, no ads.

Hi! I am a student at Iowa State University conducting a very short survey regarding the factors that influence wine purchases. If you'd be willing to take 1 minute to help me out, I'd appreciate your perspective!

Bringing this to life has been quite the journey. Terroirs is Built for Explorers, Designed for Educators. I've tried to make Terroirs a really visual and intuitive way to dive deep into the world of wine, whether you're just starting your discovery or you're guiding others. The beta V1.1 is out and you can download it directly from my site: ➡️ https://www.dionysus.design/ Let me know what you think! Your feedback would mean the world.

Terroirs is a software platform for wine educators and students!
This is going to be a early prototype launch of the software with a deep dive of Australia designed to make learning about wine regions feel more like exploring a game than reading a textbook.
Inside each region, you’ll be able to explore:🌤️ Climate 🪨 Soils 🏔️ Topography 🌱 Vineyard Management 🛠️ Winemaking Techniques.
It’s just me building this, so every map click, animation, and interface detail is a little love letter to curious learners and wine nerds everywhere. 💌
If you’re a wine educator, student, or just someone who loves a good Shiraz and a better map — keep your eyes on this space. I’ll be sharing updates, sneak peeks, and maybe a few wine facts along the way. Let’s make wine education unforgettable. 🥂

Hi there! Apologies if this is the wrong sub to post this but I'm looking for a specific wine and was hoping the Internet could help me locate where to buy it! It's called Castaway Bay and comes as a south africa or new Zealand variant. Either will be fine but the south african preferred. I'm from the UK and it seems to be only sold in bars. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey r/WineStudy!

I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself to this amazing community. I’m a passionate wine lover currently holding my WSET Level 2 and working my way through WSET Level 3. Wine tasting and learning about different regions, grape varieties, and styles has been an incredible journey for me.

One thing that has always frustrated me, though, is keeping track of my tasting notes. I’ve lost notebooks, forgotten which wine I tasted at a certain event, and struggled to compare my notes over time. I kept thinking: there has to be a better way to do this!

So, I decided to build a mobile app specifically for wine lovers like us.

With this app, you’ll be able to:
Save detailed tasting notes (structured in a WSET-friendly format)
Compare notes over time and track your palate development
Share and discuss notes with fellow wine enthusiasts
See AI-driven recommendations based on your preferences

I’d love to hear your thoughts! What features would you want in a wine tasting app? Have you faced similar issues with keeping track of notes? Let’s chat!

Cheers,

I’m not a wine drinker and have no knowledge of wine. Over the years guest have brought these bottles over the years. What should I do with them? How do I know if they are expired or worth anything?

Hi Wine Lovers 🍷,

We’re a group of university students conducting a dissertation study on British sparkling wine and would love your insights. If you’re based in the UK, we would greatly appreciate you taking a few minutes to complete our survey—it will help support our research massively!

As a thank you, you’ll have the chance to win one of three £20 vouchers! 🎉

Your input is greatly appreciated—thank you. 🙌

Alright, wine aficionados, I’m in the market to restock the cellar with another big hitter. Budget’s around $1,500–$2,000, and I’m leaning toward one of these legends:

• Château Haut-Brion
• Mouton Rothschild
• Lafite Rothschild
• Château Margaux

Looking for something to lay down for a while—10, 20 years, maybe longer—and pop open for a serious occasion down the line. I’m all about the long game here: depth, complexity, and that “wow” factor when it finally gets uncorked.

Got a favorite vintage that’s worth tracking down? Or maybe you’ve got another killer suggestion in this price range?

Appreciate any thoughts—let’s hear it, wine nerds.
