Slow Food Wine
"This is not a question of blaming the New World, of exposing their winemaking (or manufacture?) tricks and the additives they use. Let�s be honest, the majority of European wines aren't pure as driven snow either. Neither is wine-making rectitude lacking in America, South Africa or Australia. In short, with a few notable exceptions, grapes and techniques are more or less the same whether you are working in Beaune or Barossa. So then, international wine or signature wine, how should today's winemaker react? And should he opt for mass-produced or hand-produced? What are wine lovers of the future going to go for?"
