Thanks for your interest in our document (and the subject matter). There is a property called located in (spec: <owl:Class rdf:ID="Region" /> - <owl:ObjectProperty rdf:ID="locatedIn"> <rdf:type rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/2002/7/owl#TransitiveProperty" /> <rdfs:domain rdf:resource="http://www.w3.org/@@/owl#Thing" /> <rdfs:range rdf:resource="#Region" /> </owl:ObjectProperty> ) the domain is thing (and wine is a subclass of thing) so locatedIn does connect wines to regions. (It has the general domain thing so that it can also be used to connect wineries to regions as well.) For example, bordeaux (the subclass of wine) is located in BordeauxRegion (which is in turn located in the FrenchRegion). WhiteBordeaux (because it is a subclass of bordeaux) is located in bordeauxRegion as well. WhiteBordeaux is also stated to be made from sauvignon blanc or semillon so when you look at whiteBordeaux you also can determine that those varietals are used to make wines from the bordeaux region.
