When it comes to wine, there is no ingredient more important than location. The land, air, water and weather where grapes are grown are what make each wine unique. That’s why great names like Port, Champagne and Sherry are more than just types of wine; they’re from specific regions in Portugal, France and Spain.

And that’s why the Center for Wine Origins was founded – to help Americans remember that location matters when it comes to wine. While excellent wine is produced around the world it is important to know where your wine comes from.

Consider the Center for Wine Origins a one-stop shop for information about the importance of location and details on some of the leading wine regions of the world.
