Spain is part of Europe, and Europe is often referred to as "old WOrld". New World tends to be places Europeans "discovered". Like North and South America. So, if you wine is from Spain, (or germany, or Italy or France) it's probably okay. But if it's made in a Latin American country, or the US or Canada, or even Puerto Rico or the Carribean, then it probably wouldn't be.
Is there something in the soil or the processing that causes them to have some sort of reaction? I've never heard of something like this.

Most defiantly not! Argentina and south American countries notably Chile,Australia,New Zealand and South Africa are a few producers of new world wine. Some pretentious people think they are no good but it's really a load of nonsence! Try a good Rioja reserva for a present and you wont go wrong. If you have this friend round for dinner try them with a bottle of Californian white Zinfandel blush, say it cost an arm and leg and ask what he/she thinks....you will see what I mean!!!!
