It's a Fine Time for American Wine

Most wine produced in the world is derived from a shared grape species, Vitis vinifera. Consisting of thousands of varieties, vinifera spans broad geographical regions from western Europe to southwest Asia, from the Middle East across to North Africa.

It's always changing to reflect its present circumstances, and the story of vinifera is evolving.
