Old World vs New World
How wines are divided around the world:
Old World — Europe: France, Italy, Spain. Here it’s more about tradition, terroir, and restraint. Wines are often more acidic, complex, and less “loud.”
New World — USA, Chile, Australia, New Zealand. These wines are typically brighter, fruitier, and more approachable. The flavors are often richer and more expressive.
In short:
Old World — about nuance
New World — about pleasure from the first sip
