20/20. Serbia and Ukraine were tricky, I just tried every european country and finally got them but... On the other hand, South Africa, Australia, Argentina were pretty obvious. I thought Japan would be on the list but maybe it's too cold there ?

Though they grow a lot of wine in Israel, it is a tiny country. It's a lot more surprising to me that Georgia doesn't make it. I thought for sure they would at least edge out Hungary or Serbia.

I'll take you at your word about the oldest "wine factory". But the first part of your statement is definitely not a fact - it's your opinion.

Got them all with 48secs to go. Surprised Japan not in there but I guess it was grape wine only ? I am in NZ and would have thought that NZ ranked higher than that.

So I guess Moldova has overtaken Ukraine in wine production since the quiz was originally published. Moldova, hmm.

Level 76

I know, right? That's the only one I missed. And I was guessing all around the Eastern Europe, too. Ukraine, Romania, even Belarus. But didn't even bother with Moldova. *sigh*

2019, I'mma drink one bottle from each country on this list.

I know the local store has French, Italian, Spanish, Argentinian, Chilean, New Zealand, Australian, Croatian, South African, and Greek wine, I've had all of those. But it's gonna be a struggle finding the rest, I might have to get them to order for me.

Level 80

Feb 3, 2020

Great idea. I've tried a lot of these, though not all. Don't hold out high hopes for Chinese wine - from what I've tried it is, charitably speaking, not great. Great Wall was the most common label. It was, at least, better than the local wine I tried in Vietnam. I mainly subsist on southern hemisphere wines, living in Australia, so despite the volume of production in Europe and the US, those are pretty rare for me. NZ pinots (Central Otago) and sauv blancs (Marlborough) are big here, as well as local shiraz, cab sav and sauv blanc - particularly from the Barossa Valley region in South Australia and also the Margaret River over in Western Australia. Argentine and Chilean wines are widely available, but variety is lacking. Lots of Concha y Toro and other export oriented-oriented brands, rather than the more interesting stuff you'd find in the Elqui Valley or around Mendoza, which has a great variety of delicious Malbecs.

Level 72

Nov 10, 2020

I'm French, and it's actually not easy at all to find foreign wine here - I'm guessing both because of chauvinism, and because France does objectively produce a lot of really good wine in all price ranges, so it's hard for other wines to compete when you factor in transportation. Also, many countries, especially from the Southern hemisphere that make great wine don't really export it to France - so whatever little we do get is usually not great. I've heard that it's similar with whisky in Scotland - it's obviously the best place to get amazing scotch, but if you want a greater variety of whikies from around the world, you're better off buying it in England or France! Anyway, it sucks that you can't get your hand on a lot of European wines. We have some awesome stuff - and not just in France and Italy! I'm personnally partial to some German whites and Greek reds!

Level 74

Feb 9, 2022

Mainly due to politics/protectionism, it is very hard to get any decent quantity of ag produce into the EU for non-members

Level 80

Feb 3, 2020

Moldova got me. I know they're fond of their wine and I guessed neighbouring Romania, but I just assumed they'd be too small to make the list.

Missed greece.

Level 72

Nov 10, 2020

I find Greek wines to be really underappreciated. First, for such a small country, I find that they have an amazing range of grapes and methods. Also, there's just something about the warm climate, the arid and very mineral soil, that makes for a lot of character. They've been making wine for millenia there, so there's bound to be some knowledge and expertise! Anyway, if you can get your hand on the stuff, do try it!

Level 81

Feb 28, 2021

Might have something to do with the spread. I have rarely seen Greek wine anywhere (outside Greece) and the only two I have tried had tar or resin or something like that mixed in there. It's, you could say, an acquired taste.

Level 72

Mar 1, 2021

Yes, if it was white, that was probably restina ! Definitely an acquired taste. I personnally love it - tastes like summer in the Greek islands to me! Luckily, if you don't like it (which I totally understand), there are a lot of other options to try! If you like sweet wines, maybe try to find a Mavrodaphni, or a sweet white from Samos. Otherwise, Cretan reds are generally a safe bet.

Level 86

Feb 9, 2022

I think resin was originally used to seal the barrels so the wine wouldn't leak out... and it is definitely an acquired taste, and perhaps hard to acquire.

But... there are a lot of really good Greek wines (without resin).

I'm a fan of Boutari, mostly because I absolutely love Santorini.

Yes. Very weird.

Level 52

Mar 1, 2021

I don't know how in the hell Moldova produces more wine than Romania. It's much smaller, 1/6th the population, and situated more north. So basically I'm telling you I missed Moldova. Also missed New Zealand, which there's no excuse for. It's kind of refreshing to see China not at the #1 spot (or even in the top 5) for production of something for once.

Level 73

Mar 1, 2021

they don't produce much else other than wine

Level 65

China is #5 though

Great quiz! How many countries' wines have you enjoyed? It seems the traditional European wine countries' brands dominate here - in Finland, with some exceptions.

Level 51

Mar 1, 2021

Huh the Eastern European ones surprised me, they're much more well known for good vodka or Slivovitz brandy. Interesting quiz!

Mar 3, 2021

It would be interesting to see amount of wine produced per area.

Level 36

Mar 30, 2021

I'm 12 and I got 16! Pretty happy with that. I missed only Hungary, Moldova, Austria and Greece. Not sure how I missed the latter.

Level 74

Jun 26, 2021

I have a complaint, not a biggie but nevertheless...

When a source is listed in the description, it's a tad annoying when it's just the word "Source" with a hyperlink. Much more useful would be to actually use the name of the source as the hyperlink text.

It would look more professional, too.

Most are easy to guess if you like wine and know some of the best known producing countries. Most others are somewhere around them.

Only Moldova took me by surprise

Apr 21, 2022

I would look at Chinese wine)

Level 75

Nov 17, 2022

Living surrounded by vineyards and knowing how much we drink, it is craty to think that Moldova is making more wine than we do in Switzerland. I guess we are really that small
