Terms and Definitions

A wine company, also known as a winery, is a business entity that produces, sells and distributes wine. It may also grow its grapes, known as a vineyard, or source them from external suppliers. The activities of a wine company range from wine production, bottling, branding, and marketing, to sales and distribution.

A vineyard is a specific form of farm, specialized in the cultivation of grape-bearing vines, usually for wine making, but also raisins, table grapes and non-alcoholic grape juice. The science, practice and study of vineyard production is known as viticulture.

Bottling refers to the process of transferring the wine from the tank or barrel into individual bottles for retail sale. This process may be done manually or with the help of automated machinery. The wine is sealed, usually with a cork, cap, or screw cap to maintain its quality.

Branding is the practice of creating a name, design, or symbol that distinguishes a company's products from those of its competitors. In the wine industry, branding involves creating a unique identity and reputation for a wine or a range of wines.
