Wine-producing countries are classified into "Old World" and "New World" based on their history.
The New World is a general term for wine-producing countries that have a relatively new history compared to European wine-producing countries and regions.
- America
- Chile
- Australia
- new zealand
- Argentina
- South Africa
- Canada
- Japan
etc.
In the New World, while they incorporate winemaking techniques that have been cultivated over the long history of the Old World (Europe), they tend to prefer free-form winemaking that is not bound by convention.
In addition, many of the wines have the grape variety written on the label, making it a good choice for beginners to learn the characteristics of the variety. Another feature is the wide selection of wines at reasonable prices.
However, their quality should not be underestimated. Each country produces wines that are full of individuality and reflect the characteristics of the land, and there are many high-end wines that cost over 10,000 yen a bottle.
