Ten years ago, wines from Australia, New Zealand, Chile, California and South Africa were barely known outside the country in question - few people had heard of them let alone tasted them. Since then, these New World wines have emerged as a formidable force, sweeping the board at international wine competitions and setting new trends in wine drinking.
'New World of Wine' examines each of the New World wine countries and explores why their wines are so successful today. The grapes used, winemaking practices, and regional styles are explained, and emerging wine regions evaluated. The dynamic, often colourful, personalities behind the wines are also featured and producers of the best wines recommended.
