This visualization is one of my most lasting and frequently cited projects. I had to do a lot of research and gather data by hand since there was no single source with all the wine characteristics I needed.

This project highlights a common challenge in visualization work: real-world limits in editorial production. Even big publications often can’t hire many specialists due to budget constraints.

Romania is a leading wine producer, offering everything from crisp whites to rich reds. This visualization lets readers explore that variety, showing key details like color, region, alcohol content, acidity, and sugar levels.
