This article mostly duplicates existing, better articles. It has featured various improvement tags dating back to 2008, and seemingly was PRODded in 2020 - which was only removed this week (I'm not sure how that happened). I think at this point it's fairly safe to say WP:TNT applies, as it's got very little reedeming it.

In addition the article seems largely to be an essay, failing WP:NOT. CoconutOctopus talk 13:01, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect I agree this article largely seems like an (incomplete) essay based on a chapter of a single book source. I would redirect to History of wine as most of the article is about wine history.

I considered a redirect but I think that as the Globalization of Wine article managed to have a PROD on it for 5 years! it likely isn't looked at very much if at all, and I'm not sure how useful a redirect from such a term would even be. CoconutOctopus talk 19:10, 27 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Agree with nom that the link doesn't need to be maintained. There are several pages that link to this, but redirecting to the history article isn't really relevant and those would be better simply delinked. Reywas92^Talk 01:51, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
How it happened: it was deleted in 2020 and undeleted this week. jlwoodwa (talk) 06:13, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
That makes so much sense. I think that's even more proof we don't need this. CoconutOctopus talk 08:19, 28 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to History of wine. Neither the Tabor nor the Rachman source in the Globalization article it's currently mentioned in the History article, and I can't see any reason why they wouldn't be. BD2412 T 22:21, 30 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
