Built a scroll story mapping every vine grower in France 🍇
I love wine, data and tech, so I set myself a challenge: what visual story can I tell using only open data from data.gouv.fr?
👉 https://femente.com/data/vineyards-of-france
France publishes its full company register, so I pulled every business coded as grape growing (116,130 of them), plus the official borders of every wine appellation. Then I added critic scores from my wine discovery site, Femente, to see where the 95+ wines actually come from.
Favourite finding: in Burgundy's Côte-d'Or, 1 in 5 growers has made a 95-point wine. In the Languedoc's Hérault, it's 1 in 368.
Stack: Python to crunch the files, then one HTML canvas with no map library. The regions lift out of the map with CSS 3D transforms as you scroll.
Would love feedback, especially on how it feels on mobile.
