As with many debates, and debates that go on and on,
each have their merits. Old World has certain good points
and New World have some good point and both have a negative
side to them. Each world though is extremely diverse
and the spectrum of wines and winery found within each
make it difficult to classify them according to a particular
quality, characteristic or style.

MS BOOZE SAYS
The Old World tends to include wines made in the European
nations – France, Germany, Italy, Spain and so
on. They usually have a long history of viticulture.
For example, in the vineyards of Burgundy and the Mosel
in Pfalz, grapes have been grown to make wine for over
1,000 years.
The New World on the other hand is a little
tricky to define. Usually, they are from regions in
Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Yet, there
are some wineries, which might have historical roots
that do employ the modern methods typically found in
these New World regions.
If you ask me, such differentiation
is really unnecessary because a good wine is a good
wine, regardless of where it comes from. |
