New World vs. Old World: country classifications
Below is my categorization of wine producing countries into "new" and "old" world. I am having second thoughts about classifying Romania as a new world producer. While you are at it, please take a look at both lists and suggest appropriate additions and deletions. The idea is not to have a comprehensive listing, but to highlight the principal players in both spheres. For example, technically Lebanon should be in the Old World list, however, I don't think Lebanon currently makes sufficient wine to merit inclusion. Then again, by that criterium, maybe I should exclude Switzerland from the old world tally. OLD WORLD France Italy Spain Germany Portugal Austria Hungary Switzerland NEW WORLD United States Australia South Africa New Zealand Chile Argentina Uruguay Canada Romania Thanks in advance for your thoughts. -- ================================================= Do you like wine?
