The appearance of the map at the link makes me again want to suggest
that while viticultural cartography, both thematic and historic aspects,
may not rate its own conference, a presentation or panel at more general
map confences would not be out of place. Historically, we can go back
to the depiction of vinyards on estate maps and come on up to modern
wine atlases and even detour into maps on wine labels.
The map at the link also falls into that category of maps derived
from or inspired by transportation maps, particlarly those of the
Underground and the Metro.
