Top 7 emerging wine regions

Wines from the “New World,” that once were the main challengers to “Old World” wines now have their own rivals, as more countries seek recognition for their wines.

Men’s website AskMen.com has compiled a list of the top seven emerging wine regions, as winemakers educated globally return to their home countries to build or revive a wine industry.

1. Switzerland. This country is one of the world’s great wine-producing secrets. Only one per cent of the wine produced in Switzerland makes it out of the country. Many of its wines are influenced by neighbouring France, Germany and Italy. The best wines come from the Valais region, with delicious white wines made from the chasselas grape.

2. Ukraine. Once its wines from the Crimea region were much prized by Catherine II. Now, its wines are coming back, led by bright, sweet sparkling wines from pinot blanc and aligote grapes.
