Title: Which country makes the best wine?
Post by: Ulli on August 19, 2008, 03:29:29 PM
My favourite countries for red wine are:

France (Bordeaux  specially Medoc, St. Emillion, Graves),

Spain (Rioja)


and for White wine:

Germany (Müller Thurgau, Riesling)

Spain (Cava)

Israel is for red wines also very good, but I have tried only a few bottles so it is "non-competitive" so far. But it has great potential imo.

Simple. Just go to the country that drinks the most wine. Italy.

Napa valley shall be very good, but it is not so common in Europe.

I have bought some bottles from California, but I was disapointed. It tastes chemical. But perhaps you must know the right vineyards in order to get good wine.

I am open to references  :)

I think Chile makes excellent wines.  I like Lindemans also, which is from Australia.

Good point.

I think Israeli wines. I paid only ca. 7 Euro for an excellent bottle. For this quality it is cheap.  :)

Are you a skinflint? I am  ;D

I only drink wine rarely but I think you should change South Amercia to South Africa. Does South America export wine at all?

Yes South America, specially Chile, Argentinia and Brasil are main importers to Europe. You can buy this wines in nearly all wine stores.  ;)

But you are right I forgot South Africa.  O0

 I think Israel. This is also part of the reason why all the Russian non-Jews enjoy Israel soo much. They say that wine is cheaper then water there. It's a shame though that in addition to that they dump a lot of the products into the sea.

I love red California wines, Pinot Noir from Santa Barbara and  the rest from Northern California. My second choice are French Bordeaux.

White wine from Germany is very good. But only the dry one. It is very good to cooked carp, Makarel and codfish. Imo the only wine that fits 100 % to this dishes.

The Britains and Dutch like it very much.

But to be sincere, it is not world class.

Has anyone tried British wine? There are only a few vineyards, but they should be not so bad. But I never got a bottle from there to try.

Thank you Paulette  for the advise  O0

I will look it up. Perhaps I am able to order a few bottles. I prefer organic, because the taste is in many cases more clear.

Plus I don't like blend or if they use the whole possibilities of modern wine cellar-technic.

You mean self-destilled alcohol? I have heard that people in bolschweik Sweden, were alcohol is for normal citizens very expensive, some people used the water and heating systems of their houses as a sort of destille.

But I don't recommend this for those who have no idea what they are doing. Because you can create sorts of alcohol that make you blind. :(

Some sorts of alcohol are very damaging for your genetic information. They crack the dna and cause mistakes in it, so your children look like this or you got cancer.  :(

If you try to cheat the bolschewist gouvernment in this business, you must have lots of expierence and knowledge. In any other case it will hurt you ...  ;)
