The production of wine has progressed on every main continent. The knowledge modeling can support the sharing of expertise, methods and good practice concerning international grape vine growing and wine production while maintaining a high level of quality. Our research focuses specifically on the development of a support system for knowledge formalization. We describe some procedural rules to represent experienced knowledge in the viticulture domain and plant pathology. We use a graphical software for rules management. The visual representation is a step toward the improvements of interaction between Artificial Intelligence methods and domain experts to make interpretable learning models for concrete decisions. This implementation enables us to make valuable visual reasoning to search whether the Chinese regions are capable of receiving a production of French vineyards. In particular, one outcome is that two Chinese regions appear more favorable and consistent for the development of wine from the Bordeaux region.
