Trivia: Which of these countries produces “New World” wine?
Italy
Greece
Chile
Croatia
The correct answer is Chile
So why is this answer correct? : “Old World” wines are from Europe and the Middle East, the birthplace of wine, while “New World” wines are from North and South America, Australia, and South Africa. Old World wines tend to be more highly regulated and hold to centuries-old winemaking standards. New World wines tend to bend the rules and allow room for experimentation. They differ in labeling practices, too. European and other Old World wineries list the location where the grapes were grown on their label, while New World wineries tend to feature the grape varietal.
