Arcer wine is wine produced in the [[Crona|Cronan]] nation of [[Arcerion]]. [[Norham Governorate|Norham]] and [[Foxhey Governorate|Foxhey]] are the two largest wine-producing governorates in Canada, with over sixty percent of Arcerion's vineyard acreage situated in Norham. There is also limited wine production in Arcerion's other governorates, with the exception of Howland due to its Arctic climate. | Arcer wine is wine produced in the [[Crona|Cronan]] nation of [[Arcerion]].

In 2020 Arcerion produced 62.1 million liters of wine, with roughly two-thirds originating from Norham Governorate. The second largest wine-producing region in Foxhey contributed twenty percent of the production. | In 2020 Arcerion produced 62.1 million liters of wine, with roughly two-thirds originating from Norham Governorate.

Arcerion produces a variety of wines, both white and red, and is notable for the high quality dark red wines that it grows in the Arcer Moorlands in the Southern portions of Norham near the Aileach Foothills. Arcerion also is home to several fruit wineries and meaderies, but these are more common in Northlea due to its warmer climate and greater availability of fruits less suited for the Arcer coastline. | Arcerion produces a variety of wines, both white and red, and is notable for the high quality dark red wines that it grows in the Arcer Moorlands in the Southern portions of Norham near the Aileach Foothills.

Arcer wine has been produced for over 200 years, beginning with some of the earliest settlement of the Carnish Colony in Crona. The earliest settlers in Kurst, Kinnaird, and Chester-on-Moore tried to cultivate grapes from [[Levantia]], which ultimately failed due to the Arcer climate and rough coastal weather. Over time, focuses on more hardy species of grapes yielded better results, and after the [[Arcer Bush Wars|First Bush War]], the colony had enough territory in the more permissive Norham Governorate, where these grapes and vineyards thrived. | Arcer wine has been produced for over 200 years, beginning with some of the earliest settlement of the Carnish Colony in Crona.

The first commercial winery, and Arcerion's oldest, the Aileach Vineyard, opened in 1833 and remains open today as the largest wine producer in Southern Crona. | The first commercial winery, and Arcerion's oldest, the Aileach Vineyard, opened in 1833 and remains open today as the largest wine producer in Southern Crona. | ||

In 2020 Arcerion exported 4.4 million liters of wine, contributing to its dominant market share of South Cronan global alcohol exports. The largest export markets for Arcerion wine are [[Paulastra]], [[Alstin]], [[Urcea]], [[Kiravia]], and [[Carna]]. | In 2020 Arcerion exported 4.4 million liters of wine, contributing to its dominant market share of South Cronan global alcohol exports.

The two largest wine producing regions of Arcerion are Foxhey and Norham Governorates, both located on the Malentine Sea. Norham's soft moorland soil and warm coastal weather are extremely favourable for the cultivation of hardier grape strains, as demonstrated in the 1800s. Foxhey is entirely surrounded as a series of islands, and its black volcanic-mineral rich soil has proved to be a major growht benefit for its vineyards, with Foxhey estimated to become the most productive wine region in South Crona by 2035. | The two largest wine producing regions of Arcerion are Foxhey and Norham Governorates, both located on the Malentine Sea.
