created in 1970, west - east: Coteaux de Tlemcen - 40km (25 miles) from the Moroccan border, a mountainous zone at around 700m (2,300ft) above sea level, this is the most inland zone of the seven, producing red, rosé and white wines Monts du Tessalah - generally red and rosé wines from around 600m (1,960ft) above sea level, only 40km (25 miles) south of Oran and the coast Coteaux de Mascara - grown on the mountains north of Mascara, around 80km (50 miles) southeast of Oran, this region produces white, rosé and red wines Dahra - a coastal vineyard, producing reds and rosés, grown on hillsides close to the Mediterranean sea Coteaux du Zaccar - situated on the slopes around Mount Zaccar, 120km (75 miles) west of Algiers, near the city of Miliana (700m above sea level) this hillside region produces mainly reds and rosés Médéa - 70km (43 miles) south of Algiers, this is another mountainous zone sitting at over 1,000m (3,300ft) above sea level, producing whites, rosés and reds. Aïn-Bessem-Bouïra - around 75km (47 miles) southeast of Algiers, this red and rosé region is better known for its olive trees and oil production. Culturally, this is in the Kabilye region

Answer 10

vitus amurensis - cold resistant, grown in NE China

Answer 11

vitus amurensis x vitus vinifera hybrid in China, doesn't require burying the vine during the winter

Answer 12

vitus Davidii - has spiny young shoots, grown in subtropical areas of the Yunnan-Guizhou Plateau and the Yangtze River basin. This species has excellent resistance to high temperatures, humidity, and fungal diseases lacks sugar and acid so not great for wine

Answer 14

1892, Chinese industrialist Zhang Bishi established the first commercial vineyard in Yantai, Shandong Province, founding the Changyu wine company, now one of China’s largest wineries. Zhang imported 124 different vinifera varieties and 1.2 million grape seedlings from Europe, introducing such classic varieties as Cabernet Sauvignon to China.

Answer 15

Much of China has a distinct continental monsoon climate, meaning its agricultural land is impacted by hot and rainy summers. most grape growing is in the drier parts of the country, in extreme continental climates in most parts of SE China, vinifera cannot survive because of excessive summer humidity. Only native species, such as Vitis davidii and Vitis quinquangularis, can tolerate these conditions

Answer 16

in parts of china with extremely cold dry winters: Starting soon after harvest vines are pruned in preparation. Vineyards then need heavy irrigation to raise soil moisture levels, providing insulation from cold, arid conditions. The burial process begins between late October and mid-November and lasts 10 to 15 days. Soil is heaped over the vines by hand or by customized tractors. Trunks and cordons are bent or pushed down by hand or foot to avoid breaking; the process cannot be fully mechanized. Vines are unearthed from late March to late April, depending on warmth and frost risk. At this stage, attention shifts to protecting the buds. Unearthing the vines too early risks frost damage, while unearthing too late can lead to budburst under the soil, damaging buds.

Answer 17

systems typically feature very low trunks (such as the Crawling Dragon system) or trunks trained in a slanted manner. The best system is the Chang, named after the Chinese character chang (厂, “factory”). It features an improved slanted trunk with a single horizontal cordon. This system balances vine burial feasibility with vine health
