Talk:Italian wine

message: I've been working heavily on this article, but I think the introduction could defnitiely use improvement...anyone want to tackle it? The generalizations are particularly troubling.

thread_title:  HI 

message: I've created this today and think it could do with fleshing out a little. As Italy was so prominent in early wine production, it might be worth doing this in tandem with the History of wine page. The refs I've provided for this section have plenty of further info, if anyone wants to take up the baton.

message: Disagree I don't think that vino cotto should be merged with Italian wines, because it can not be completely thought of as a wine. It is more of a syrup and it isn't really even made from wine. It's made from unfermented grapes.

message: Just in passing, I came across the production stats by region for 2005/6 at http://www.istat.it/dati/dataset/20070321_00/ (right panel) - I figured they'd be useful for the regional articles as well as this one, if someone wants to do something with them.

thread_title: Production stats

message: This part is particularly meaningless and misleading:
"As far as generalizations can be made, Italian wines tend to be acidic, dry, light-to-medium bodied, and subdued in flavour and aroma. Because of these characteristics, Italian wines are, in general, a better accompaniment to food than they are beverages to be enjoyed on their own."
I believe it should be simply edited out and forgotten, as everyone who knows Italian wines (being Italian and a wine lover I do) also knows that we have such a varied production that generalizations are basically useless (as they would be if applied to other old major winemaking countries as France).--213.140.21.227 (talk) 19:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Misleading

message: Hi, just two quick notes:
- "sometimes called traminer aromatico" is somehow wrong: Indeed, "traminer aromatico" is the Italian translation of the German "Gewürzrtraminer". Tramin/Termeno is a town in the Alto Adige region, and AFAIK it is a native grape from there.
- Concerning "Tocai Friulano" and according to EU request to change the name, I know that it has been renamed to "Friuli". However, I can't find a reference now. I'll put one as soon as I found one.
HTH,
Stefano

message: >It was customary to mix wine with a good proportion of water which may otherwise have been unpalatable, making wine drinking a fundamental part of early Italian life.< 
:Does this mean the water was unpalatable, which is what it says, or the wine would have been unpalatable without the water? Why would the water have been unpalatable? Suggest delete to avoid confusion. Roundtheworld (talk) 17:43, 22 November 2009 (UTC)

message: the reason I didn't include US and Argentina in the lead paragraph is because the top three producers are within 1-2% of each other (Italy 19%, France 17%, Spain 15%) and together account for half of the world's wine production, whereas the next largest, the US (8%) produces only half that. I really don't think we need five countries in the lead paragraph — Jon (talk) 09:46, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
