IMO D

Op A:--> are respected---> passive construction. moreover, we only know that the wines got respect in last twenty years...don't know about whether they are continuing respect...this construction doesn't restricts this idea, This is my opinion though m not a tense expert.

Op D:--> have gained...who gained?? wines...active voice..more clear and restricts the idea...wines gained respect and that action is now in complete state
