Tuscany (Toscana in Italian) is only responsible for around 5% of Italian wine production, but it is by far the most famous region internationally and is dis-proportionally represented on wine lists around the globe.

The wines produced in New Zealand are as wide-ranging as its landscape which is why we Brits have fallen in love with New Zealand wines. Our love of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc has been well documented, and continues to inspire the question, what next?

The Northeast of Italy covers six provinces and produces well over 40% of all Italian wine, with the majority of this (70%) being white. Veneto is by some way the biggest producer in the country, with the volumes coming from mass market behemoths Pinot Grigio and Prosecco.

We Brits love Spain. We love it so much that around 18 million of us visited the country in 2019, meaning we are the main country of origin for Spain’s tourism industry. So why do we love it so much? And, specifically, why do we love their wines so much? Maggie MacPherson tells us why.

It also home to some of the most complex, terroir-driven wines outside of Burgundy. What makes it so special? Peter Mitchell MW takes a dive into this beautiful region.

Washington state is beautiful: it boasts wonderful coastlines, rugged mountains, desert scenes and of course, Twilight. Sadly, Washington state is often overlooked, which is mad given Washington ranks second in the US for premium wine production.

Sicily often feels little to do with mainland Italy but is one of the most fascinating places to visit in all of Europe and home to some incredible wines. From the coast to the mountains, a new generation of winemakers are putting this oft-forgotten piece of Italy back on the map.

America’s 33rd state, Oregon, was founded in 1859, and is best known for its wild west past, its quirky present-day traditions and its thriving food and drink culture, built around local wines. Maggie MacPherson introduces us to this wonderful region.

For most wine drinkers the Loire Valley starts and stops with the Sauvignon Blanc grown in the central vineyards around the small towns of Sancerre and Pouilly-sur-Loire, but this large region deserves far more recognition. What is so special about this region? Peter Mitchell MW tells all.
