We have three vintage wine maps (pun intended) by the illustrator Remy
Hetreau of French winemaking regions c. 1930s on our site:
http://www.georgeglazer.com/maps/europe/france-wine.html
Decorative colorful maps of the Alsace, Loire Valley and Provence vineyard
regions of France with emblems and symbols in background. These posters of
the wine growing regions within France were made in an attempt to advertise
and promote tourism and boost the wine selling industry as a whole.
One of these maps was featured in the book about maps You Are Here¹ by
Katherine Harmon that came out six years ago.
And we also have another French wine map in a more straightforward style
from 1942 that is quite large (47 x 17 inches):

Large vertical oblong wall map of the French Burgundy wine region
surrounding the city of Beaune, known as the gold coast of wine growing.
Wine estates shown. Appellations and wine classes indicated. Issued as
advertisement for Pierre Ponnelle, wine sellers.
À votre santé,
Helen

In our area, we get parts of the Sunday newspaper on Saturday and one of
those parts is the comic pages. In tomorrow's (Sunday's) Family Circus is a
map. There have been other maps in that strip in the past. Well, I would
consider them maps. It is possible that tomorrow (Sunday) this strip might
appear on the website www.arcamax.com http://www.arcamax.com for viewing.
The comic synidcates very jealously protect copyright as they see it so it may
not be possible to pass such things around.
Many comic strips have had maps over the years, though such things may be
more the subject area of maps in popular culture than the history of
cartography. I have seen them in L'il Abner (though often more views), The
Phantom, Superman (location of Metropolis), Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers,
and so on.
amazon.com is selling a variety of wine maps atlases. Again, these may
be more appropriate to the field of popular culture, particularly maps on wine
labels, but viticultural cartography does have a historic component reaching
back to vineyards depicted on medieval estate maps.
