Wine:Help needed!!?

Question

im doing a wine project.and the teacher allow us to choose any country's wines to research on.which country should i research on beside france,italy,germany or australia.any interesting countries would ur advise on?? thk!

Answer 1

Italy and France are by large the more important worldwide, with Australia gaining appreciation during last decades; apart from those ones (and California), between all the other Countries you can find some which are just now "gaining attention focused" on their wine production: they are both in south America: Chile and Argentina.

Answer 2

France & Italy make so many wines of every conceivable description from somany varieties and over such a huge area that your research will not even scratch the surface. You will have too much data to knock into a reasonable shape unless you intend writing a book.

I suggest you choose somewhere much more manageable. If you are in the USA then choose your home state (if they grow vines there) or the nearest state (hopefully not California :) Maybe you'll even get to visit a winery or two and get some first hand winemaker quotes to use

Somewhere like Rhode Island or other east coast state with just a handful of wineries with a fairly short history would be ideal.

Most of the states also have an informative website listing wineries, varieties grown and the history.

Answer 3

Try Pennsylvania or West Virginia wines. There are a lot of very good ones. The wineries I've visited have been great.... and if you're lucky enough to have the owner present when you're tasting.... you get a BIG splash in the glass, instead of the little one everyone else gives you. lol

The Amish Country wines of Pennsylvania are very good. There is a huge variety in those alone. Windgate Winery, in Indiana County has some good ones. My personal favorites are Eye of the Buck, Fort Mahoning Red and Rhapsody.

Forks of Cheat in Morgantown, West Virginia has a very nice table wine called Air Mail. It's sweet without being overly sweet. They also have a rather dry red called Baco Noir.

The owner of Forks of Cheat puts together a wine and jazz festival every year. It's always fun to go.

Answer 4

Canad has some good wineries and Ice Wine is a Canadian speciality and quite different in howits made.

I recently had a bottle of not good but intereting label wine from Georgia - the country, not the state. I bet many of your clasmates would be totally unfamiliar with them as a wine producer.

Isreal has an interesting industry also.

Answer 5

What about the United States...some people forget that the US is full of wineries! Do some research on the Napa Valley or Texas is know for their Sweet Reds and Chards.

Also I love wines from Spain.

Answer 6

I'd recommend South Africa or Chile - both make some really nice wines and both make enough different wines and have enough different producers to make research not too difficult - and, better yet, the wine will also be very good.

Answer 7

How about the U.S.A ?!? California produces some of the best wines in the world!, Washington State, New York State, and Oregon all have great wineries as well.

Answer 8

New Zealand is a very good one to research. Some amazing wines coming out of there.

Answer 9

I would go with Pontacs advice. Pick a state in the USA. Missouri also has some award winning wineries. Our Norton wines are winning awards world wide.
