Still to check (2)
- Decree defines this subtractively (Talca province minus Río Claro, plus Linares province, plus the comuna of Cauquenes) -- approximated here as the union of its own zonas rather than encoding the subtraction directly.
- 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.
