Column: Wine Chat - SOMETHING OLD, SOMETHING NEW
New World vs. Old World might just be one of the longest-standing vino-related debates. Here in Australia, our winemaking industry is classified as part of the New World.

An Old World wine region is one that has a very long history of winemaking, and often its own native grape varieties. Where tradition, winemaking philosophies, and the role of terroir play a key role in Old World regions, New World winemaking tends to draw stronger focus on science and the role of the winemaker. In spite of this, globalisation in recent years has led to increasing homogeneity between these two modes of thinking. That is, it is no longer unfathomable for one region to produce a wine almost entirely in the style of the other.
