Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
Italian term or phrase: azienda produttiva
This term is used to describe various companies that make wine, but I'm having a hard time finding the best translation in English.

Can anyone tell me which would be a more appropriate translation:

wine manufacturer
wine production company

Thanks!

Explanation:
Hi Andrea,

I've already agreed with Margeret, but in reply to your note:

azienda produttiva is used in general for manufacturing companies / producers - a company that produces/manufactures something (not only relating to food or drinks). I would use a specific term where required, such as wine producer in your case, and a more generic 'company' when a specification is not needed.
