> James and Catherine Kinglake fulfilled every wine lover’s dream when they bought a 72-hectare (178-acre) winery near Limoux, France. Situated in the Languedoc region with views of the Pyrénées, Domaine Begude has over 25 hectares of vines.
So less than 40% of their winery's acreage is actually vine.
The one other winery for which the article gives numbers has a similar percentage.
Any here familiar, to comment on why so much expensive land is being left idle?
