Talk:Micro-winery

Clarifications
Micro-wineries aren't really well-defined yet which is why this has so few citations. I'd suggest we interpret micro-winery to refer to any winery that produces microwines or extremely limited edition wines (small cuves) but I don't know if that's a verifiable definition...it's more just deductive reasoning (and I'm hesitant since language isn't always logical). The list of links seems a little too commercial. Even if they were all notable, we should make it an encyclopedia format instead of a list of external links. And it seems inaccurate to say "a micro-winery is typically able to offer a wider range of wine varietals; as it is not tied to the grapes it grows" since the majority of wine (by volume) is produced by (large) wineries that source grapes (ie don't grow all the grapes themselves). I might start making some of these changes on my own. Feel free to talk me out of this. --mroconnell (talk) 13:15, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I just realized the last clause of the New York state law offers "No licensed micro-winery shall produce or manufacture in excess of fifteen hundred finished gallons of wine annually."

suggesting that micro-wineries should be defined by the total wine production. Obviously the exact number can vary from law to law, but there is a verifiable legal definition that supports my common-use definition above. --mroconnell (talk) 13:37, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
