This is like one of those hand drawn maps of the world as seen by a New Yorker, Londoner, etc, that were in the poster shops in the 80s.

I understand that the chart maker wanted to differentiate between the different sparkling wines and so drew branches of the wine tree, but physical distance in the chart should matter.

Some French champagnes are pretty damn similar in taste and are produced the exact same way as some California sparkling wines. Yet they are half a page away from each other. In a blindfolded test, you would confuse the two. Meanwhile, in other areas of the chart, a similar distance exisits between very different things like rice wine and German Bock Bier
