Verb (abbreviation of verb) China and the world grape producing areas.
China grape producing area
There are distinctive grape and wine producing areas in the vast area of 250 ~ 450 north latitude in China. However, due to the specific ecological environment needed for grape growth and the differences in regional economic development, these producing areas are small and scattered, and most of them are in the east of China.
1, northeast origin
Including the foothills of Changbai Mountain and the northeast plain south of 45℃ north latitude. It's very cold in winter here, with the temperature between -30℃ and 40℃, and the annual active accumulated temperature is 2567~
The temperature is 2779℃, the precipitation is 635~679mm, and the soil is chernozem, which is fertile. In the cold climate in winter, European grapes can't survive, and wild Vitis amurensis has become the main variety cultivated here because of its strong cold resistance.
2. The origin of Bohai Bay
Including Changli in the northern half of North China, hilly and mountainous areas of Jixian County, Binhai District of Tianjin, hilly areas in the northern part of Shandong Peninsula and Daze Mountain. Because it is close to Bohai Bay and influenced by the ocean, it is rich in heat and abundant in rainfall. The annual accumulated temperature is 3756~4 174℃, the annual precipitation is 560 ~ 670 mm, and the soil types are complex, including sandy soil, coastal saline-alkali soil and brown soil. Superior natural conditions make it the most famous wine grape producing area in China, including Cabernet Sauvignon in Changli, Rosette in Tianjin Binhai, Chardonnay, Guirenxiang, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot in Shandong Peninsula.
Merlot, Jiali wine, white jade and other grapes are very famous in China. Bohai Bay is the producing area with the largest planting area and the best variety of wine grapes in China. The output of wine accounts for 1/2 of the national total output.
3. The origin of Shacheng
Including Xuanhua, Zhuolu and Huailai in Hebei. Located in the north of the Great Wall, it has abundant sunshine, moderate heat, large temperature difference between day and night, cool summer, dry climate, less rainfall, annual accumulated temperature of 3532℃, annual precipitation of 4 13mm, cinnamon soil, sandy texture, hilly and mountainous areas, which is very suitable for grape growth. Longan and milk grapes are the specialties here. In recent years, the world famous wine varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have been popularized.
4. The origin of Qing Xu
Including Fenyang, Yuci and the mountainous areas in the northwest of Qingxu, Shanxi Province, the climate is cool, the sunshine is sufficient, the annual accumulated temperature is 3000~3500℃, the precipitation is 445mm, and the soil is loam, sandy loam and gravel. Grapes are planted in mountainous areas and are very dark in color. Longan in Qingxu is a local specialty. In recent years, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot have also been used for brewing.
5. The origin of Yinchuan
Including the vast alluvial plain at the eastern foot of Helan Mountain, the climate is dry, and the temperature difference between day and night is large. The annual active accumulated temperature is 3298~335 1℃, and the annual precipitation is 180~200mm. The soil is sandy loam with gravel, and the soil layer is 30~ 100mm. This is the largest wine grape base newly developed in northwest China, mainly planting world wine varieties Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
6, Wuwei origin
Including Wuwei, Minqin, Gulang, Zhangye and other counties and cities on the edge of Tengger Desert, it is also a new wine producing area on the Silk Road in China. The climate here is cool and dry, with the annual active accumulated temperature of 2800~3000℃ and the annual precipitation of110 mm. Because there is no summer heat and cold in winter, it is suitable for the growth of early and middle maturity grape varieties. In recent years, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Chardonnay have been developed.
7. The origin of Turpan
Including Shanshan River and Liuhong River in Turpan Basin, it is below 300 meters above sea level, surrounded by mountains, with frequent hot air and extremely high temperature in summer.
Above 45℃, the annual active accumulated temperature is 5319℃; Rainfall is scarce, only 16.4mm throughout the year. This is the production and drying base of seedless white grapes in China. More than ten years ago, Guo Qichang, a famous wine expert, tried to grow wine grapes such as Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Huokeng, Syrah and Lilac here. Although glucose is high, the acidity is low, the flavor is insufficient and the quality of dry wine is poor. The sweet wine produced has the characteristics of western regions and its quality is still good.
8. Origin of the Old Yellow River
Including Xiaoxian County in Anhui, lankao county County in Henan and Minquan County, where the climate is hot, the annual accumulated temperature is 4000~4590℃, and the annual precipitation is more than 800mm, which is concentrated in summer, so the grapes grow vigorously, with serious diseases and low quality. In recent years, the newly developed winemaking bases in some wineries have basically controlled the epidemic of diseases by introducing late-maturing varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and improving cultivation techniques, and the quality of grapes is expected to be improved.
9. The high origin of Yunnan
Including Maitreya, Dongchuan, Yongren and Panzhihua on the Jinsha River at the border of Sichuan and Yunnan, where the altitude of Yunnan Plateau is 1500m. The soil is mostly red soil and brown soil. The climate here is characterized by abundant sunshine, sufficient heat and timely precipitation. There was an obvious dry season from June of last year to June of the following year, with the precipitation of 329mm (Maitreya, Yunnan) and 100mm (Panzhihua, Sichuan), which was suitable for the growth and ripening of wine grapes. Taking advantage of the natural advantages and unique microclimate in dry season, cultivating Eurasian grapes has become a major feature of grape planting in southwest China. After decades of development, the above nine producing areas have gradually formed, and the basic framework of China wine grape producing areas in 2 1 century has been constructed.
World grape producing areas
1, France
Bordeaux: Someone once said, "If you don't drink Bordeaux wine, you can't be a wine expert." Bordeaux wine is world-famous. Red wine is neither strong nor weak, with delicate taste and no strong alcohol smell. Most of the colors are beautiful ruby, and the best red wine has the characteristics of getting more fragrant with age. The main producing areas are Medoc, Saint Emilion, Pomero, Graves and Sothern.
Burgundy/Burgundy: The difference with Bordeaux is that most Bordeaux wines are brewed by several different grape varieties, while Burgundy wines are almost all brewed by the same grape variety; In addition, in Bordeaux, the so-called (grancru) fine wine is formulated by the 1855Medoc grancru grading system (of course, Saint Emilion and Graves also formulated the so-called grancru), while the fine wine in Burgundy is formulated according to the vineyards in the producing areas. The main producing areas are Chablis and golden hillside, that is, the Goethe producing area (Cote dor) is further divided into Cote de Nuit, Cote de Beaune, Marconas and beaujolais.
2. Italy
The most famous and prolific Italian regions are: Piedmont, among which (Baba Leiskow, barolo) is the most famous; Veneto, represented by Amarone Valpolicella and Soave; Tuscany and Chianti are its famous brands. Famous representatives are Vino Nobile di Montepulcaino and Brunello di Monta -lcino.
3. Spanish
Spain is the country with the largest grape planting area in the world, but the average grape area is the least, ranking third in the world in terms of alcohol production. Spanish wine gives the world the feeling that it is as popular as Italian wine. It wasn't until 1970s that Spain had its own "AOC", namely (Olkin National Wine Association), or DO for short, which stipulated the origin and quality of wine. Rioja is the Spanish Bordeaux. Due to aphids in the19th century, many grape growers who were originally in Bordeaux came to rioja, far away from home, to rebuild their vineyards and brew again, so Bordeaux-type wines were mainly produced here, but the grape varieties and wines were different in Chenfang. 199 1 year, Doc (Olkin California Sect) was established, which was stricter than DO.
4. Australia
Australia is an excellent new producing area with good soil conditions and stable climate. Its wine production accounts for 2% of the world, about 55 million cases, and nearly 30% is exported. At first, it was mainly used to produce fortified alcoholic liquor, but in recent thirty years, it has been changed to mass production of general table wine without sweetness. Because it is located in the southern hemisphere, the season is just the opposite to that in the northern hemisphere, and the grape harvest period is February and March every year, so it is listed six months earlier than the wines from various producing areas in Europe and America. If you bought Australian wine that year, it's not surprising. The most distinctive wine in Australia is blended wine, which is innovative and bold to try to use blending methods that have never been tried before, such as Carpend and Syrah blending excellent wines. In addition, it also produces very good fortified wines. Of course, it also produces many excellent wines, such as Syrah and Granci Elmy Tashi. Others such as Carpend Soynon, Chardonnay and Semillon also performed well.
5. Germany
Germany * * * has 13 specific grape growing areas, most of which are located in the southwest and at high latitudes. The sunshine is insufficient and the summer is short. In order to absorb more sunshine, 80% of the vineyards are located on the hillside near the river. The main specific vineyards are concentrated in Moser and Rhine areas. Generally speaking, Mo Ze wines are strong in acidity and refreshing; The Rhine is rich in wine.
6. America, America
The United States is the largest wine producer in America, and it is also a big country in wine technology. With its unique geographical location, stable climate, advanced technology and superb marketing skills, it has become an emerging excellent wine producing area in the international market in just 30 years. Among them, the wines produced in California rank first in the United States in terms of quality and quantity. California wine accounts for about 90% of the total production in the United States, and its grape cultivation is mainly distributed in the central valley and the southern coast, among which Napa Valley and Sonoma Valley on the northern coast are the most famous, and most famous wineries are here. In recent years, the United States has also formulated a set of so-called legal grape growing areas with reference to European regional control laws.

Drink red wine with Bordeaux glasses (like tulip bulbs or newly blooming lotus flowers) and Burgundy glasses (with small mouths like plant bulbs). The goblet for wine tasting should be colorless and transparent, with a tulip-shaped body, a slightly narrow mouth and a thin wall. The long handle allows fingers to hold the goblet lightly, so as to avoid printing handprints on the goblet body, which will affect the transparency of observing wine, and at the same time avoid transferring the temperature of hands to the goblet.
The diameter of a standard wine glass is 46±2mm, the widest part of the glass body is 65 2mm, the cup length is100 65438 0mm, the cup wall diameter is 0.8±65438±0mm, the cup handle length is 49±65438±0mm, and the cup bottom diameter is 65 2mm.
