History of wine and wine regions

How do you pick a good wine? How do you learn what wines are the best? One answers is to look where the wine came from and maybe through experimentations to find out which wine regions produce the kind of wine you enjoy.

wine originated in France and spread throughout Europe and to much further lands such as America, Austrailia, New Zealand etc.

 

So where should we start when trying to learn one region or type of wine from another?

 

French wine is largly considered the best because of its long history and extensive areas of wine production such as Bordeaux and Burgundy, Provernce and many others.

 

Most wine names or types originate in France like Savignon Blanc, Champagne and Shiraz (from Syrah in France).

 

Italy, the home of pasta is another big wine producer but not as well known, producung wine like Chjianti made in Tuscany and also produces Rondinella, Malvisia and Sangiovese.

Italy producase a wide veriety of wine and has a fanstastic climate for growing a many different grapes. As a lover of italion food, I think it would be intersesting to have maybe Caneloni and an Italion red wine for example.

 

Germany, famous for sausages, beer and larger etc. is another wine producer much smaller then France but its the world's seventh largest wine exporter, about two thirds of the world's Rustling wine is produced by Germany.

 

Some wine regions in Germany are Ahr, Baden, Hessisthe and Warthemberg, there are 13 regions producing many different wines from Beerenaeslere QMP a sweet botoygused wine with a strength ranging from 15.3% to 18.1% alcohol and a high sugar level making very sweet wines.

 

Leaving Europe behind there is still a masive world of wine producing countries, New Zealnad started making wine around the Colonial period and over the past few decasdes thier wines have truly come of age. it is best known for its Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Mthode Traditionale. wine is produced in Northland, Auckand, Waikato and Gisbourne etc.

 

For someone serious on learning about wine a holiday to some of these facinating countries may be a great way of experiencing these diverse cultures and trying a wide range of wine, while gaining knowledge and tast for certain regions and types of wine.
