Notes

1. As Cochoy explains, making wine geo-traceable implies the possibility to identify the characteristics of the grapes being used for each bottle of wine. The characteristics accessible contain information such as ‘soil composition, the properties of a grape variety, meteorological and hygrometic data, plot exposure, gradient, name of owner, and more’ (p. 153).
