Research draft, second pass

A second pass drafted this model: the structure a model of this thing needs, and what is known about it in the world. The line under this one says how the second half was obtained - researched against sources, or recalled without web access, in which case nothing here was read anywhere and every claim is a lead to verify. Unreviewed either way.

Purpose and description

Let an agent explain vineyards, relay viticulture, trellising, terroir and appellation rules from wine and agricultural sources, describe the clos and trellis terms the registry aliases name, and distinguish vineyards from wineries, orchards, individual grape varieties and wine regions.

A plantation of grapevines grown mainly for winemaking, table grapes or raisins, with vines trained on trellises or other systems, sometimes enclosed by walls as a clos in French usage, and characterised by its terroir, the combination of soil, climate, topography and practice that shapes the grapes; vineyards are managed through viticulture and are often protected by appellation systems.

What it is for: Growing grapes.

It can be explain viticulture; relay terroir and appellations; describe named terms; distinguish related concepts.
