An early result of the Paris tasting was a dramatic increase in the exchange of information among wineries and winemakers around the world. This, in turn, facilitated the spread of innovations and technology into Vineyard s throughout the world. Drip Irrigation , new trellis systems and techniques, and other developments in Viticulture were spread as viticulturists and winemakers began traveling around the world serving as consultants. Another indicator of Globalization is the influence of wine critic Robert M. Parker, Jr. . Receiving high scores by Robert Parker can significantly effect a winery’s profitability. It appears that wineries around the world often style their wines to the taste of Robert Parker, leading to a homogenization of wine styles and a de-emphasis of '' Terroir ''. This effect is the main subject of the documentary '' Mondovino ''. Consistent with this is the increasing dominance of France’s leading grape varietals. Eight varieties now dominate world wine production. They are Cabernet Sauvignon , Merlot , Pinot Noir , Syrah (Shiraz), Cabernet Franc , Chardonnay , Sauvignon Blanc and Riesling . SEE ALSO SOURCE
