Basically, all wine regions are located as follows: in Europe they are in the territory between 40° and 50° latitude, and in America and in the southern hemisphere between 30° and 40° latitude. This is not surprising as the climate in these areas is moderately warm – perfect for growing grapes. Winemaking is common in the southern and Northern hemispheres.
Typically, maturation of the vines need heat. But some varieties of which are produced fine wines, require coolness. The wine was not too heavy, it should not contain a lot of sugar. The heat, in turn, slows down the process of its formation. In addition, the cold influences the acidity – stopping them splitting. And acid is one of the properties, which gives the wines elegance.
There are several opinions about how much heat is necessary for ripening grapes. For example, according to German scientists, 1600 hours of sunshine per year are ideal conditions for vineyards. But American researchers are confident that must be not less than 2500 hours at temperatures below 10° Celsius. However, aging may affect the location of the farms. If the vines grow in a mountainous area, the sun’s rays beat stronger. In warm regions at maturation have influence and precipitation. Ideally, the year should not fall less than 600 mm. anyway, it all depends on the weather conditions. And it is impossible to identify General rules for all regions.
Grape farms are located also to the North of the wine belt. For example, in the valleys of the rivers Rhine and Moselle, southern English vineyards in Cornwall. And the southern European and North African lands are generally remote from major climatic zone of growth of many vineyards – 36° latitude. Wines produced in these areas, heavy and with a high alcohol content (sherry, Marsala, sweet Thing, “Cyprus sherry”).
In the last 25 years there has been a tendency to move into cooler climatic regions, especially in Australia, South Africa, Chile and Greece. The winemakers of California and Oregon have begun the process even earlier. Move to the cool Pacific climate, it is particularly interesting to manufacturers of white wines.
I must say that in order to try all the wines in the world, you must begin your journey from the banks of the river Rhine to the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. In this territory grow thousands of varieties of grapes, produced a huge number of wines. The choice is so great that it is staggering in its quantity. Here you can find wines that have never left their homeland. Although the interest in the exotic wines is increasing, many of them only begin to “see the light” and to appear on the shelves of our stores.
