What is the difference between the taste and flavor of New World wine and Old World wine?

For winelover, I believe that no one knows what New World wine and Old World wine are, but the question is, apart from the difference in origin, what is the difference in the taste and flavor of these two ordinary wines? Let HongKong Winetrader-Supreme Only give you a brief introduction below!

New World wine

Generally speaking, wines produced in non-European countries such as the United States and Australia, as well as South Africa, Chile, Argentina and New Zealand, all belong to New Wolrd wine. Compared with Old World wine, which advocates traditional winemaking techniques, New Wolrd wine is more inclined to industrial production, and will try various brewing techniques to produce wines with different styles.

New Wolrd wine usually has a strong fruity aroma, and the taste is more in line with the expectations of the general public. It tends to express the characteristics of the grape itself, and is usually brewed with a single variety of grapes, so women and wine novices will be more acceptable.

Old World wine

In the field of wine, Old World countries mainly include traditional wine producing countries in Europe, such as France, Italy, Germany, Spain and Portugal, as well as Eastern European countries such as Hungary and Czechoslovakia. Most of them are located between 20 and 52 degrees north latitude, and have natural conditions very suitable for wine grape cultivation. Natural conditions such as warm winter and cool summer, concentrated rainy season in winter and spring and dry summer and autumn, and high-quality soil give these countries inherent advantages in wine planting and brewing. It can be seen from the fact that the annual wine production of France, Italy and Spain accounts for nearly 60% of the world’s total wine production.

Old World wine follows the traditional winemaking process. From the selection of grape varieties to the planting, picking, pressing, fermentation, blending and aging of grapes, it strictly abides by detailed and unbreakable rules, and respects the traditions of hundreds or even thousands of years. Even a family tradition. Old World wine production areas must follow the government’s regulations to make wine. Each vineyard has a fixed grape production.

In addition to the fruity aromas of Old World wine, mineral, leathery, smoky, and even earthy flavors can often be tasted in it. These flavors are not popular tastes, but a unique aroma. , it is a little more personal, tends to express the terroir of the wine, and usually uses more than two kinds of grapes for blending. In other words, those who like it will like it very much, and those who don’t like it can only become refusal accounts.
