1 Austria The most popular white varietal in Austria is Grüner Veltliner, a grape variety justly identified with Austrian wine culture. It can be fresh and lively. 100 Gruner Veltliner, Hopler, Burgenland, Austria, Australia In 2001 Australian wine did the unthinkable and toppled France and became the biggest exporter of wine to Britain. The flavours in Australian wines were a revelation to many: buttery, full, new oaked chardonnay with no hint of austerity; rich, blackcurranty reds, brimming with fruit and with no sign of mouth-puckering tannins. 101 Semillon/Chardonnay, Mullygruber, Growers Wine Group, Australia, Shiraz/Cabernet, Mullygruber, Growers Wine Group, Australia, Spice Trader, Heartland, South Australia, Argentina The growth in Argentinean wines has been truly remarkable. Once seen as the poor neighbour in terms of wine quality to Chile, it has perhaps seen the rewards that quality across the mountains has offered. 202 Malbec, Raleo, Mendoza, Argentina, Malbec Reserve, Piedra Negra, Mendoza, Argentina, 2014/ Chile With a 2,610 mile Pacific coastline stretching from the Atacama Desert in the north to the ice fields of Patagonia in the South, Chile has a supreme diversity of climates and geography. The majority of wine comes from the Central Valley, where good quality Cabernet, Merlot and Sauvignons are found. 102 Sauvignon Blanc, Tierra del Rey, Central Valley, Chile, 2016/ Viognier Reserva, De Gras, Colchagua Valley, Chile, Merlot, Tierra del Rey, Central Valley, Chile, England There are now over 400 English vineyards producing nearly 2 million bottles of wine, and with the ever changing climate bringing warmer climates to the South this is only likely to grow. 104 Horsmonden, Dry Organic, Sussex, England,

2 France ~ Alsace Alsace is a secluded area in the North East of France which offers a unique style of wine mixed somewhere between traditional French and German styles. It has a unique variety of grapes such as the wonderful Pinot Gris. 105 Pinot Gris, Domaine Remy Haeffelin, Alsace, France, 2015/ France ~ Bordeaux The Bordeaux region is arguably the finest area for red wines in the world. Famed for their wonderful complexity of aromas and flavours, great elegance and refinement and an ability to age gracefully - some for a hundred years. Bordeaux, known for being divided by the river Gironde, produces predominantly Cabernet Sauvignon in Graves and Médoc on the West side of the river and Merlot from St Émilion and Pomerol on the East of the river. 106 Chateau Haut Mayne, Graves Molleux, Bordeaux, France, 2015/ Chateau La Croix de Queynac, Cordier, France, Chateau La Croix Meunier, Grand Cru Classe, St Emilion, France, Chateau Talbot, 4eme Cru Classe, France, France ~ Burgundy Famous for the world s greatest Chardonnays and light bodied reds, Burgundy is a wine heaven.

The Western Loire is home to Muscadet, while Pouilly Fumé needs no introduction. 111 Pouilly Fume, Chateau Favray, France, Sancerre, Domaine Vincent Delaporte, France,

3 France ~ Rhône Valley Continuing a near parallel South from Burgundy lies the Rhone Valley. Split into two territories, the north is dominated by the Syrah grape. The south has a much wider variety of grapes although Grenache is perhaps the most predominant. 211 Côtes du Rhône, Domaine La Guintrandy, France, 2014/ Chateauneuf Du Pape, Olivier Ravoire, France, France ~ South The Languedoc is France s largest wine producing area, covering most of the Southern area of France it produces a vast array of different grapes and much every day drinking wine. 113 Vermentino/Colombard, Terrasses, Vin de France, Picpoul de Pinet, Reserve Roquemoliere, Languedoc, France Carignan, Le Rouleur, Vin de France, Merlot/Grenache, Terrasses, Vin de France, 2015/ Pinot Noir, Comte Paul Antonin, Vin de pays d Oc, Germany German wine is primarily produced in the west of Germany, along the river Rhine and its tributaries, with the oldest plantations going back to the Roman era.

4 New Zealand With its two slim islands, almost all the country grows wine. The grape variety that has made so many fond of their wine must be the Sauvignon Blanc, a true rival of the best Loire Valley wines. The area of Marlborough produce some of the finest, but other areas such as Hawkes Bay and Otago are challenging for supremacy too. 118 Sauvignon Blanc, Frost Pocket, Marlborough, New Zealand, Chardonnay, Milestone Series, Hawkes bay, New Zealand, Pinot Noir, Yealands, Marlborough, New Zealand, South Africa South African wines are centred around the Dutch Cape Area of Stellenbosch with Chenin Blanc, Semillon and Pinot Noir all well known. 120 Chenin Blanc, Journeymaker, Coastal Region, South Africa, Pinotage, Douglas Green, Western Cape, South Africa, 2015/ Lourens River Valley, Morgenster, Stellenbosch, South Africa, Spain Spain enjoys a phenomenal amount of wine production, and in Rioja has one of the world s truly superb wine regions. Rioja is an amalgamation of many grape varieties although Tempranillo is usually the most prominent. The Crianza must age for two years minimum, with one in oak. Spanish whites are increasingly popular. 121 Albariño, Veiga de Princessa, Pazo do Mar, Rias Baixas, Spain, Rioja Cofrade, Semi Crianza, Spain, Rioja Reserva Soligamar, Spain, Priorat, Huellas Massard, Spain, USA The United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world after France, Italy, and Spain. 122 Chardonnay, Secret Cellars, Monterey, California, USA, 2014/ Pinot Noir, Secret Cellars, Santa Lucia Highlands, USA,
