Legal basis

Uruguay has no legally delimited wine GIs (Decreto 283/993 sets up a register only). These are INAVI's descriptive regions, by department.

Outline: Built from the administrative units that contain the area. The legal boundary follows other lines (roads, rivers, farms or altitude), so the real area is smaller.
