Where distilling happens

The Atlas says where the terroirs are. This map says where the workshops are : 2,193 establishments recorded in OpenStreetMap, across 24 countries. A survey, not a register — and the difference is what this page is about.

1,945 distinct positions at this scale

World map: 1,945 distinct positions, for 2,193 establishments recorded in OpenStreetMap across 24 countries. The densest concentrations are in Western Europe, on both coasts of the United States and in Japan.

What this map is not

A survey of a contributory database

It does not register, it records

OpenStreetMap holds what its contributors have entered. A region densely drawn on this map is a well-mapped region — not necessarily one that distils more.

It dates almost nothing

Of 2,193 establishments, 21 carry a referenced founding year. Wikidata announces 356, but 342 of those references point to an import from another wiki — which is not a source.

It publishes no entry

Each point is an unverified seed : seed — no entry can be published as it stands; human verification required. That is why nothing opens on click. An editorial survey of the houses is the Atlas's next documentary undertaking.

How the survey is spread

The only 21 publishable dates

Foundings dated and referenced

A year is admitted only if Wikidata gives it with its reference. Seven of them rest on the house's own website : they are then presented as claimed, never as established.
