Using our wine map tube labels, here are our plans for continued mapping of the wine world.
We would love your input.
Current maps (including Germany which we are now putting the final touches on):
Upcoming maps:
We're now committing the resources to complete all of the maps within the next year. To be honest, when we started, we thought it would be much easier. But we haven't compromised accuracy, fact checking or quality in putting our maps together. Thank you for your patience.
Any amount of input on our mapping would be greatly appreciated. To show our appreciation, we're giving away a set of our first six maps. To enter, simply write a response to this blog post. A winner will be chosen at random on Friday, November 15th 2014.
Please have a go at any one, a few or all of these questions:
- Are there any other countries or specific region(s) that you would like to see as well?
- Would you like to see more folded maps? We launched a folded version of our Italian map but the sales were just meh - perhaps because it wasn't in a set.
- Would a boxed set of all 12 maps (similar in format to the image below) appeal to you? What would be a fair price for this?
- How about electronic version - Ipad, android tablet - of all of the maps? What would be a fair price for this?
- Our current maps are 24x 36 inches. Would you like to see smaller format maps as well? Larger format?
- Last but not least, would you like to see more countries/regions in David Gissen's amazing Metro Maps Format? In a boxed and/or electronic format as well?
Any input is greatly appreciated. Thank you for your support!
Steve, I was apparently one of the few who purchased the folded Italy map, and use it as a reference for that complex region, along with several books on the subject. The format and cardstock case are perfect, and I think offering the complete boxed set would be a great addition to anyone’s personal wine library! I also have the full size CA map framed in maple hanging on the wall in my house for easy viewing, but it is quickly in need of updating due to the changing appellation scene. Although I use a number of different resources for electronic maps on my iPad, yours are a superior presentation and generally much more accurate. As a geographer, travel junkie and wine enthusiast, I’d love to be your sales rep in the SF Bay Area and Nor Cal!!! Good luck with your continued success, “Your WineGuy” Michael A., CWAS, WSET-L3.
