Is Spanish Wine classed as a New World Wine????
Neeed help, have a gift for a friend who cant drink new world wine!! Is SPanish wine classed as a New World Wine?
Answers: 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. Its not in the new world so I doubt it. what is new world??
just what is the problem...
I think your talking phosphates in our cheep wines..
Spain is over there NOT in our New World No Spain is in the Old World, so hence... No. Spanish wine is a load of plonk. The Romans (and not Italians) used to drink wine made on the Iberian peninsula (modern day Spain).... there ain't nothing New World abt Spain as far as vino goes.... 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!!!! No, The Spanish have been making wine for thousands of years.
