Photo request: Just about all of them! Any pictures of wine regions, grape varieties or wine would be useful. In particular we need wine region maps that can be licensed for Wikipedia.

Obviously this article will need more expansion, especially in regards to a worldwide focus. I fleshed out the US section (because that was one that I readily had a good source for), so yes...at the moment, it is US centric but that will certainly change. Please save the effort and not bother to tag the article. We already know. :) However, any help in crafting those sections on other wine regions will certainly be appreciated-especially if they are accompanied by reliable sources. As for myself, I would want to do more research before I feel competent enough to work on those section. I know Tomas has plans for a EU wine law article which will help flesh out that area and once we get the Aussie GI article done, there will be sources that.

Yup, the common EU wine regulations are big enough to merit an article of their own, and I created this article to have "a place of entry" to that future article. Unfortunately, the material that would go into such an article is bone dry and seems not to be available elsewhere in a very pedagogical form, so we'll see when I get around to writing it. I haven't felt that it would be worthwile to add much specifics of individual European countries' wine laws before that article is written. Tomas e (talk) 07:31, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
