Upon first glance there is an obvious conclusion that one can make about the primary wine regions of the world. The best wine producing regions of the world are located in two bands that straddle the Equator... in the North between 30 and 50 degrees latitude, for places like Rioja, Bordeaux, Tuscany & Napa... in the South, again between 30 and 50, for places like Mendoza, Maipo, Stellenbosch and Barossa. Both the Northern and Southern parallels are equidistant to the equator and seem to be the ideal location, fostering the perfect climatic conditions for growing grapes. In the Northern parallel harvesting usually begins at the end of September or early October. In the Southern parallel harvesting starts in late March or early April.
