If you consider the wide variety of wines that come from Europe, you would actually be surprised by the countries that produce some of the best, robust wines. Although France and Italy are the first places that usually cross our minds when we think of fine wine, there are actually amazing fine wine producing regions in many other parts of the world. Many of these regions are frequently overlooked in the search for the best wines. Port wines from Portugal, cabernet varieties from Australia and New Zealand, Serbian wines like Ruzica and German wines that have been uniformly underrated for years, are all highly popular in Europe. Many don’t realize that Germany has been producing wine for centuries in the western area of the country. Responsible mainly for white wine varieties, mass-produced German wine is sold all over Europe.

Some of the best wines in the world come from Spain. The Spanish are habitually known for “bottle-aging” their top wines prior to release for consumption. Their fine harvests and top vintages have been showcased all over the world. Organic wines are produced in Tanzania. Morocco produces some of the boldest varieties of red wines. Chile’s central valley produces many award winning red and white wines. Turkish table wines are made from the Vitis vinifera grapes that are native to the Mediterranean. Muscat variety dessert wines made from Muscat grapes are produced in Romania. Varieties of both red and white wines are also abundantly produced in countries like Argentina, Moldova, South Africa, Hungary and the Island of Corsica.
