Viticultural Area: Defines a legal grape-growing area distinguished by geographical features, climate, soil, elevation, history and other definable boundaries. Rules vary widely from region to region, and change often. Just for one example, in the United States, a wine must be 85 percent from grapes grown within the viticultural area to carry the appellation name.
葡萄栽培区:指法定葡萄种植区,它具有明显的地理特征、气候、土壤、海拔、历史和其他明确的界定特征。不同产区的划分规则不同,也常会发生变化。举个例子来说,在美国,葡萄酒中必须有85%的酒液来自法定产区的葡萄才能冠以该产区名。
