Still to check (2)
- Decree says 'all provinces of the Región Metropolitana'; this is RM's current provincia list, not independently confirmed against the decree's own wording.
- Chilean wine law has real compositional rules (varietal minimum percentages, Reserva/Gran Reserva-style aging terms) but none are sourced with a citation yet -- production_rules starts empty rather than filled from general recollection, per the "every value needs a source" rule.
