New World wines are described by Grape Variety rather than Vineyard , stereotypically riper, darker in color, fuller-bodied, smoother, fruitier and more alcoholic than traditional European products, which are more concerned with Terroir and Tradition . The term "New World wine" has come to describe a wine with some or all of these characteristics produced in any wine region. The historic Paris Wine Tasting Of 1976 revolutionized the world of wine. The Paris event, a blind tasting by leading French experts, demonstrated that New World wines could beat some of the best that France produces. This led to a rapid expansion of efforts to produce world class wines in South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and North and South America. Subsequent blind tastings have confirmed that Canada, Chile, and other New world countries are able to produce some of the very best wines in the world. SEE ALSO
