An important way in which producers seek to boost their competitiveness in the wake of wine's globalization is to exploit their geographical and varietal distinctiveness. Yet until now there has not been a global compendium of data to show which varieties are grown in what regions. The purpose of this paper is to alert readers to a new, freely available, database that provides such information in a form that makes comparisons easy. It reports vine bearing areas in two periods (circa 2000 and 2010) for more than 2000 varieties, of which nearly 1,300 are ???primes' and the rest are their synonyms. The data refer to more than 500 regions in 44 countries that together account for 99 percent of the world's wine production. To aid use of the database, there is an accompanying e-book that contains dozens of charts and more than 150 tables that report shares and other indicators to summarize developments in winegrape bearing areas over the first decade of this millennium.

在葡萄酒全球化的背景下，葡萄酒生产商要想提高自己的竞争力，一个重要的方法就是利用它们在地理和品种上的独特性。但到目前为止，还没有一个全球数据纲要来显示哪些品种是在哪些地区种植的。这篇文章的目的是提醒读者一个新的，免费的，以一种使比较容易的形式提供这类信息的数据库。它报告葡萄轴承领域两个时期(大约在2000年和2010年)2000多个品种,其中近1300是一个??质数”,其余的都是他们的同义词。该数据涉及44个国家的500多个地区，这些地区的葡萄酒产量占世界总产量的99%。为了帮助数据库的使用，还附带了一本电子书，其中包含了几十张图表和150多个表格，这些表格报告了葡萄酒产区在本世纪头十年的份额和其他指标的发展情况。
