Tue Jun 23, 2009 4:08 PM CST : Most reliable wine producing country?

I am confronted by too many brands of wines at the supermarket. Which wine producing country makes the most consistent quality in your opinion?

Difficult to determine which is the most "consistent". France could be having a terrible year for grapes, while Napa Valley, USA, could be having an excellent season. It all depends upon the "year" of that particular bottle. That is why wine is graded in years, among other factors.

south african wine is doin good lately.
australian wine is up and comin.
and chile(south america is doin prettty good also.
spain off course too, but its a very strong taste mostly

look for the grape or style that you like and stick to it.
buy a bigger boxes if you find a good one.

Merlot wine is very popular.Merlot is a certain kind of grape.

and personally I like the pinot blanc a lot.

A lot of wines get mixed these days to keep a constant quality level.

Here in Latin America the Chileans and Argentines seem to have the best fame...though I am finding that Mexican sparkling white makes a really good low-budget alternative to Champagne.

C´mon!! It´s gotta be Spain! .. I have lived amongst the merlot grapes in France!

But for value for money - I am now living back in Spain & am now enjoying numerous bottles of Vi de Taula at 89 cents a bottle!! .. Well - one has to find the best at the cheapest in this `economy decline´

I have just returned from Canada & the price of wine scared me to death!
Just so happy

to be home again to stock up for peanuts!!

Sorry but the New World wines are good but largely over-rated. Its a trend.... Give me a trad, tried and tested old-fashioned wine any day!

Bardolino
Barolo
Amarone (bloody hell...!!)
Verdicchio
Bianco di Costoza
Tocai
Trebbiano
Barbera
to name but a few.....

Chateau Neuf de Pape
Fleurie
Sauncerre
Saumur
Cote de Rhones Villages
Macon Villages
Mucadet
Mouten Cadet

My absolute faves.... for white
Bianco di Costoza
Tocai
Trebbiano

for red
Barolo
Chateau Neuf de Pape

Now we are narrowing in...some of these (Mouten Cadet, for example) are available here in Mexico but are rather pricy. Which of these are economical, dry and reliable for you?

Just joking Rose but we do make some fruit wines, not grape obviously

Mccallum is my favourite nip. I was going to say tipple, how about I just settle instead for...... nipple

Well, I DON'T do sweet or even medium..... of course!! They are all pretty dry.

If you like the driest.... Sicilian or very south Italian is the way to go. The reds are full-bodied and fruity, of course. Otherwise, for French.... Muscadet and Macon Villages are pretty dry.

I am biased towards Italian wines in case you hadn't guessed?

And sorry... re. Macon, I don't have a sadille(sp??) on my keyboard....

Salute!!

(don't have an acute accent either!).

Italy is undoubtedly the world´s largest producer and there are some wonderful wines to try.

However, living in Spain I am biased, and I would suggest you try some of our wonderful wines, particularly those from the Ribero del Duero region.
