Talk:Rhône wine

Nimes and grape types

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that Nimes was recently officially allowed to be considered part of Rhone by the INAO. I'll try to verify, but if this is true, the "Other Appellations" section should be edited to reflect that. --BridgeBurner 18:26, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

The intro states that the North makes Syrah reds and Viognier whites. True but incomplete--as we see when we get to the description of the appellations. There are three types of Northern Rhone wines: Syrah-based, pure Viognier, and Marsanne-and-or-Roussanne whites.

For that matter, there are plenty of single-varietal wines produced in the South, incl. some in CdP. Perhaps some slight qualification would be in order in the intro. RogerLustig 01:40, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

Renaming

I believe that this article should be renamed "Rhône wine" to match the other wine articles on wikipedia. --Eubanks718 19:18, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I would support that move.Agne 19:53, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I would suggest that the Côtes du Rhône article be merged into this. It contains useful additional information, but I believe this is the real main article.CCS 03:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kudpung (talk • contribs)

Oppose. This is clearly the article on the wine region, providing overview of the region's appellations, wine styles, grape varieties and so on. Sometimes it makes more sense to lump several AOCs together in one article, or to treat very minor AOCs only in a regional or subregional article. But in this case, a separate article for the largest AOC of this region is clearly motivated in my mind. Tomas e (talk) 17:06, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Thank you Tomas for your feedback. I have now considerably expanded the original article on Côtes du Rhône. Please feel free to add to it or edit it.KudpungKudpung 19:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Missing articles for CDR

As a start, I've created a page for Beaumes de Venise. If you think I'm on the wrong track, let me know and I'll get back to my Thailand stuff. Kudpung (talk) 04:38, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Costières de Nîmes

Full text of the communiction to the Wiki editor:

Bonjour,

En réponse à votre question, l’AOC costières de Nîmes n’a pas été cédé à la région RHONE.

L’AOC Costières de Nîmes a été crée en 1986.

En 1989, les producteurs de cette appellation représentés par le syndicat des producteurs de Costières de Nîmes ont souhaité être rattaché aux AOC de la Vallée du Rhône.

Cette décision s’est prise parce que cette appellation avait des terroirs et une typicité de vins plus proche des AOC de la Vallée du Rhône que de ceux du Languedoc. (Elle a plusieurs communes en commun avec l’AOC Côtes du Rhône).

Sincèrement,

Errors in image

The current image File:Vignobles rhone.png used for this article has some errors or perhaps needs more clarification.

1. In the full map, the strip due north of Orange is colored dark cyan, which does not correspond to a color in the legend. In the smaller Zone A map, this region is colored gold, corresponding to Côtes-du-Rhône.
2. In the Zone A legend, Tavel appears as two different colors, a cyan and a light grey. Are these different Tavels or was something mislabeled?

Châteauneuf-du-Pape: varieties

Châteauneuf-du-Pape is traditionally cited as allowing thirteen grape varieties to be used, but the 2009 version of the AOC rules in fact list eighteen varieties, since blanc (white), rose (pink) and noir (black) versions of some grapes are now explicitly listed as separate varieties. See Châteauneuf-du-Pape for applicable sourced references. --Kudpung (talk) 14:35, 21 September 2010 (UTC)

Errors in map

(comment removed from article text)
Please note that the map on zoom 'A' is not correct. It lists Lirac and Tavel twice, with different colors. The first mentions give the correct locations in the colors that correspond to the key. The second mentions are not correct. The colored areas that correspond to the key seem to be of Cotes du Rhone and Cotes du Luberon. User Talk:Swillmaster

This is the second time this has been mentioned. The graphic is being used on over 30 pages. Do we have someone who can tinker with it?--Kudpung (talk) 14:37, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

The rightful English spelling is: Rhone not: Rhône

The article is WILLFULLY riddled with the unEnglish and unhistorical spelling: Rhône. One can tell the NWO have utterly guttered-out the English-speaking world of it's thinkers, learned and schoolmen. Racist NWO see sad little gleeful (en.wikipedia-spiking thereof) Frenchmen as not such a threat to itself aweighed anext northern Europeans/Germanic folk. Frenchification is an off-shoot of the NWO. Northern Europeans and their lands the main target but also sister-Romance tungs and ways like Arpitian in Switzerland, Savoy and Aosta get willfully killed-off in the bargain too.

Yours, a black and white Jew.
