France

France


14 regions

Two things distinguish France from its wine-producing neighbours. The first is that it is the only major nation to combine northerly, cool-climate vineyard sites with southerly, Mediterranean ones. And the second is its topographical diversity, with three mountain massifs and five significant river basins sculpting its landmass. The result is a disparate and deeply characterful cluster of vineyard regions, giving rise to a wine culture of unrivalled finesse. In no other country on earth is wine taken so seriously and thought-about so deeply, by wine creators and wine drinkers alike.

Italy

Italy


21 regions

Wine is everywhere in Italy – yet the country was only unified between 1861 and 1871, and remains a nation of deeply rooted regional traditions. The result? Perhaps the most complex wine culture in the world, and one whose differences seem inexhaustible: in Italy, there is always more to learn, to discover, to delight in. Those who make Italian wine often work in obscurity, modestly following the traditions of their mothers and fathers, yet the results astonish by their originality as well as their beauty and gastronomic aptitude.

Spain

Spain


15 regions

The light and warmth of Spain have long been popular with the world’s wine drinkers, as have its remarkable historical specialities. Recent years, though, have brought a new depth and richness to its offer, as the intricacies of previously neglected regions around its Atlantic margins, as well as in its mountainous interior, become apparent to the wine world. Many of those familiar historical specialities, meanwhile, are undergoing a period of reinvention: Spain is on the move.
