I've been working heavily on this article, but I think the introduction could defnitiely use improvement...anyone want to tackle it? The generalizations are particularly troubling. Jtascarella 18:28, 26 April 2006 (UTC) I find this article quite interesting because you do not find many books these days that give this kind of informatiom. In all I give it a B+.
I just wanted to say that I started the Italian Wine section after doing a school project on Italy, and my dad edited it. Thanks for continuing it guys!!! 67.78.21.14 23:00, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
Right now, there are several overlapping categories for Italian wine that (to me at least) are very confusing:
Some pages (e.g. Barolo) are in multiple categories, and others (e.g. Barbaresco) are not. This begs the question: should Category:Italian DOC be a sub-category of Category:Italian Wines? After all, some Italian Wines are not DOC(G), but all DOC(G) wines are Italian Wines. What do you think Fairsing 04:23, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
I've created this today and think it could do with fleshing out a little. As Italy was so prominent in early wine production, it might be worth doing this in tandem with the History of wine page. The refs I've provided for this section have plenty of further info, if anyone wants to take up the baton. mikaul 01:33, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
Disagree I don't think that vino cotto should be merged with Italian wines, because it can not be completely thought of as a wine. It is more of a syrup and it isn't really even made from wine. It's made from unfermented grapes.

Disagree vino cotto is not important enough for this article (but is OK as a separate article of minor importance) -- Doopdoop ( talk) 23:44, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
Just in passing, I came across the production stats by region for 2005/6 at http://www.istat.it/dati/dataset/20070321_00/ (right panel) - I figured they'd be useful for the regional articles as well as this one, if someone wants to do something with them.

This part is particularly meaningless and misleading:
"As far as generalizations can be made, Italian wines tend to be acidic, dry, light-to-medium bodied, and subdued in flavour and aroma. Because of these characteristics, Italian wines are, in general, a better accompaniment to food than they are beverages to be enjoyed on their own."
I believe it should be simply edited out and forgotten, as everyone who knows Italian wines (being Italian and a wine lover I do) also knows that we have such a varied production that generalizations are basically useless (as they would be if applied to other old major winemaking countries as France).-- 213.140.21.227 ( talk) 19:10, 8 May 2008 (UTC)
Hi, just two quick notes: - "sometimes called traminer aromatico" is somehow wrong: Indeed, "traminer aromatico" is the Italian translation of the German "Gewürzrtraminer". Tramin/Termeno is a town in the Alto Adige region, and AFAIK it is a native grape from there.
- Concerning "Tocai Friulano" and according to EU request to change the name, I know that it has been renamed to "Friuli". However, I can't find a reference now. I'll put one as soon as I found one.
HTH, Stefano

>It was customary to mix wine with a good proportion of water which may otherwise have been unpalatable, making wine drinking a fundamental part of early Italian life.<

@ Sunspotter: the reason I didn't include US and Argentina in the lead paragraph is because the top three producers are within 1-2% of each other (Italy 19%, France 17%, Spain 15%) and together account for half of the world's wine production, whereas the next largest, the US (8%) produces only half that. I really don't think we need five countries in the lead paragraph — Jon ( talk) 09:46, 18 November 2019 (UTC)
Oh, I get it. Especially since the fifth place always seems to be interchanging. I do wonder if American wine should be included, since it is by-far secure in its position much like Italy, France, and Spain. Sunspotter ( talk) 05:54, 24 December 2019 (UTC)
