 Wine Sense - New/Old Worlds?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Europeans expect wines to taste of the soil and micro-climate of a specific vineyard, because that's what they are used to after 2,000 years of tasting.
Following this logic, the more a wine maker does to a wine, the less it tends to taste of its soil and how it was grown.
In reality the boundaries have become blurred during the last twenty years as Old World wine makers have increased the use of technology at a rate equal to New World wine makers taking up traditional 'low tech' methods, improving their gardening skills and learning to taste a bit of earth.

 Premium growth for New World wine makers   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
Many wine makers are fearful that such success will undermine their profitability in the long term, as the traditional credo that a good wine had to come at a certain price begins to weaken.
Old World wines may have struggled to stop the advance of their New World counterparts in the mass market — at least in non-producing countries such as the UK — but the premium market has by and large remained the sole demesne of French, and to a lesser extent, Spanish and Italian producers.
The increasing importance of premium wines is also reflected by the moves of the major spirits groups such as Diageo and Allied Domecq to expand their portfolios in recent years — premium wines have truly become big business.

 Mead On Wine
The first major wine competition of the year to announce its awards is the New World International Wine Competition, of which I am the chief judge, which in this case means I assign and supervise the other judges.
The original idea behind the show, and the decision not to include "old world" wines, is that Europe tends to name its wines based on geography (Burgundy, Chianti, Rheingau), while "new world" producers tend to identify their wines by grape variety.
Then it has to beat the winning wines from the other two or three price classes for the same type wine (and the winner isn't always the most expensive, though often it is).

Four European colonial powers were instrumental in the formation of wine industries in the so-called New World: in the Americas it was the Spanish; down under it was the British; and in South Africa it was the Dutch.
It was not until well into the nineteenth century that the wines of the West and Southwest of the U.S. began to be sealed with an American stamp.
The South African coast is home to one of the most fruitful wine regions of the world and it began in the mid nineteenth century when Dutch merchants sought ways to provide good, reasonably-priced wines to their European consumers.
