Italian term

azienda produttiva

Italian to English Other Wine / Oenology / Viticulture
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!

IFTranslator (X) (asker) Aug 31, 2008:
I do like wine producer as well...but I just came to another part of the text where companies that do not produce wine are referred to as "aziende produttive". They do produce food products, but I don't think "food producer" has the same ring to it. Is there something as universal as "azienda produttiva" that I could use for these companies, whether they produce wine or food products?

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.
