British Columbia - Wine Growers British Columbia is thrilled to release a new set of ten topographic wine maps showing the dramatic landscape of the province and its nine diverse wine regions in detail, now available at WineBC.com.
During the last year, Wine Growers British Columbia worked with consulting soil scientist Scott Smith and Linda Decker of Geo Earth Mapping, on the cartographic development of these high-resolution topographic maps. For the purposes of wine labelling, these regions are referred to as Geographical Indications (GIs) and divisions of these as sub-Geographical Indications (sub-GIs). These are formal designations of the place of origin of the fruit that goes into B.C. VQA Wine.
