Wine Regions of the World (continued)
Wine Regions of New Zealand: New Zealand is relatively new to wine production, starting in the mid-20th century
though with roots in colonial times. Wine production takes place all over the country and they are known for producing
some of the best Sauvignon Blanc in the world!
Wine Regions of Portugal: Portugal produces all types of wine, from red and white to rosé and sparkling wines
from home-grown grape varieties. It is best known for its fortified wines like Port and Madeira, but there9s so much
more to try from a country with a rich history in wine-making.
Wine Regions of Romania: Romania9s climate makes it possible for grapes to fully grow all around the country.
The main wine regions are Transylvania, Banat, Crisana, Dobrogea Hills, Moldova Hills, and Maramures. White
varieties are the real deal in Romania, with the indigenous Feteasc grape covering most of the planted vineyard land.
Wine Regions of South Africa: Wine production in South Africa centers around Cape Town. The Mediterranean
climate is perfect for growing grapes that are a mix of Old World and New World and is known for a red varietal
called Pinotage - a cross between Pinot Noir and Cinsaut.
Wine Regions of Spain: With the largest area under grape cultivation in Europe, Spanish wines are famous for their
distinct taste and are beloved by the Spanish, since domestic consumption rates are high, and the cost of wine is low.
