## What is Wine Maps?

Wine Maps provides a handy visual reference, for the wine regions in twenty countries around the world. Its a great tool for anyone looking to learn more about the world of wine, and even better for those looking for maps to study from. It's perfect for those teaching others about wine, and Wine Maps provides a number of ways of exporting or printing maps. 

Wine Maps focuses exclusively on mapping the wine regions of the world. It offers one hundred and twenty two maps, defining the wine regions. It is NOT an encyclopaedia of wine, and does not give any textual definitions or comment. Wine Maps is a purely visual reference, which allows you to search for the location of a wine region. With the exception of the top wineries in Bordeaux, individual vineyards do not appear on the maps. There's just too many of them!

Each map is one or two taps away from the main screen. Simply choose from the main wine region list, and you instantly have a map of that region. You can search for regions by name, and Wine Maps will neatly zoom into its location. The surrounding regions will be greyed out to highlight the selected region. Each map has the wine regions clearly presented, along with rivers, cities, and major towns. 

You can adjust the major components for map. for example to hide the labels for wine regions. You can hide the rivers, or the towns and cities. On each map, controls are provided to show, grey out, or hide individual wine regions. 

For commercial users, who would like to make more extensive use of the maps, an in-app purchase has been added. This provides a licence to distribute maps, via websites, videos, presentations, and more.

Wine Maps is also bundled with a companion app for your Apple TV. Allowing you to show off your wine knowledge, and TV simultaneously!

### 3/5 — Ok, but needs clickability

*2026-02-24, version 5.2.2*

The info in this app is very helpful. Unfortunately, it lacks the ability to click on the map and drop down a level of detail.   

Example - if you open the map of France you can see all the regions.  Unfortunately, you can’t click on a region to drop down to the next level.

### 3/5 — Carina ma

*2025-02-03, version 5.2.2*

Alcune mappe sono molto dettagliate tipo la Francia, altre come Italia, Germania sono molto generiche, sarebbero da aggiornare e migliorare in zone più specifiche.
Lavoro straordinario dietro ma ancora molto da fare. 
Nessuna interattività solo immagini.
