Planet of the Grapes
An image from Strange Maps, a fine web site. Tiny Brazil and giant Luxembourg compared thru the size the grapes in the illustration which is of red wine consumption per capita. Consumption is about culture, not soil. There can be a big discrepancy between growing grapes and drinking wine. Compare Chile to Argentina or South Africa to Ireland. You may have to do some squinting to find the US. (Hint the language is not English) The map is from Portugal, the Strange Maps web site is rarely about wine, but always about maps and always entertaining,
