Maps – Savvy Wine Studies
Interactive maps, for in-depth study
Static maps are a mainstay of the wine study world, with hundreds of amazing examples abounding. Some of our favorite maps are by Louis Larmat, who created beautiful charts of the Champagne region, back in 1944. The full Larmat set is included in the boxed set of author Peter Liem’s recent Champagne book.
For our massive collection of 500+ static maps, illustrated by creators all over the world, check out this Google Drive Folder:

Interactive maps are relatively new to the wine-study landscape, made possible by open source content created by individuals, using the Google MyMaps tool. Create your own maps for free: google.com/mymaps
Our set of 50+ interactive beverage maps spans the world of wine, plus sake, beer, and spirits. Regions covered were inspired by Nick’s personal studies, and are a smattering of areas from around the globe.
