Is California wine popular in your country?

no, no one has heard of it

>>69802803
I wouldn't call it popular as much as cheap and easily available

we cannot afford such luxurious wine.

>>69802856
wait, so it's cheap and available but not popular? that doesn't make sense

Why does California produce such brilliant wines? Is it genetical or has it something to do with Atlantis?

>>69802949
so they don't sell it in Italy?


I can find plenty of Italian wines

My country prefers Virginian wine

>>69802803
we mainly drink chilean for cultured people and shitty local for alcoholic people

not really

>>69802994
my dad loves Argentinian wine. You guys make pretty decent ones

>>69802803
Most of our wine is from Latin America. I have seen foreign wine like Italian and Australian and it's ultra expensive. Only wealthy Brazilians can afford it.

>>69803012
that's the thing, the few good wine we make gets exported, we keep the shit :D

it also happens with apples and such

>>69802989
Napa wine better bro :DDDDDDDD

Australian wine is the most popular here

>>69802968
it's very very rare

>>69802949
only your and argentine are first. yes

>>69803096
yeah my dad likes that too. I would have thought the Australian climate might be too harsh for good wine but I guess I don't know shit about their geography

>>69802968
it's the same reason germans don't drink fucking miller or budweiser

>>69802803
Only chilean and argentinian wine here.

>>69803185
you apparently don't know alot about wine. California wine isn't miller lite

>>69802968
quality/price ratio is very low so it's only (rarely) sold as a meme wine, it can't beat the local offert

>>69802803
it's too expensive. exportation and all that

>>69803168
they grow them next to the meme mountains called "the great dividing range"
its where rain happens sometimes

>>69803253
it might not beat it but it's close to Italian quality

>>69802803

kek.

>>69803431
which one's have you tried?

>>69803355
>close to italian quality
heh

>>69803355
yeah but our wine is kinda cheap, we are the biggest productor in the world

>>69802803
Sometimes you can find it on the market, but it's usually more expensive than Argie and Chilean wine of the same quality.

>>69803168
South East is apparently Mediterranean climate or something

>>69803444
sorry you haven't tried Napa wine

>>69803442
no one fortunatly

>>69803578
then why is it amusing to you?

it's unbecoming of you to knock something you haven't tried

>>69803442
Not that poster but I have tried a few.
They are shit/meme tier, the Don Simon shit i buy for 1 euro and use it to mix it with coca cola is better than that shit.

>>69803355
I genuinely dislike Italian wine.

>>69803623
Unfortunately they don't ship the good wines to your stores. that would be my guess

Napa Valley wine does well in international competitions

>>69803459
Uggh we have some low grade wine from Italy that comes in really cheap jugs. I think only hobos drink it.

>>69803655
which wine

>>69803674
It would be hard to compete in countries where they produce decent wine cheaply.

>>69803674
I drank it in the USA

>>69803742
But that's precisely what the US does

>>69803754
>I drank it in the USA
Sure you did

>>69803754
honestly we have such a wide variety that you probably chose the wrong ones. It's easy to find good beer and wine here

>>69803774
yes, I people around the world actually travel, unlike you.

>>69803805
you sound angry. Is everything okay?

>>69803805
Doubt you even bothered to have half decent wine desu. It's like if i siad that pizza in Italy that was worse than in the US just by going to some crappy kebab shop or tourist trap

>>69803676
Carlo Rossi I think.

>>69803780
20 dollars wine, the same as I usually buy here. Maybe i am too poor to get the meme good wines.
I tried the major usa beer brands and some obscure breweries.

>>69803768
And we have to pay to ship it to Europe. Them they probably have tarrifs and maybe even subsidize their own vineyards.

>>69803864
I'm sorry you didn't have a good experience. Better luck in future travels.

>>69803864
the major brands here suck. You have to go for the established local breweries

>>69803754
I don't get this "americans make shit beer" meme, they have some of the best breweries in the world

>>69803928
The trip was good, the US is not as bad as the /int/ memes say it was.

>>69802803
no, frogs and wogs provide it but british wine is on the up apparently

no one drinks wine in here so only the cheapest one is sold.
it might be california, it may not be, who cares.

>>69804000
>>69803981
Yes, but I do not usually go to those places and just go to a super market. I even bought some obscure beer from meme breweries. The brews were fine, major sucked bad.

>>69803729
six out of the seven I've tried, although it's been a few years

I don't remember their names. Price range was between $12 and $60, mostly in the middle.

>>69804049
Aww man, in my experience the supermarkets suck. You have to go to beer stores and the good ones will have "ratings" next to each beer. That's how I've found some great American as well as my favorite German and Belgian beers here in the US

It's where we source our cheap wine from, yes.

>>69803217
Where do you find argie wine here?

>>69802896
A product can be cheap but that does not mean its popular. Its probably fucking terrible too.

>>69804494
California wine isn't terrible and you can get good wine for cheap

>>69804494
>>69804640
It is... decent. Not great stuff, but not terrible.

>>69804105
there are styles that have a wide range of price (Chianti, Soave ecc.) in which usually have also a very distinct range of quality. For example a cheap Chianti cost like 1,50 euros but it's EXTREMELY shitty but itself Chianti style is good. Other wines like Gewürztraminer do not have the one euro tier category so they are always good on average. Maybe you bought the cheap but shit wines with a "good name"

I get Shiner bock, Negra Modelo, or if I have $0 monies, Coors. There are some really good US meme beers I could recommend, but they're mostly local. We have Belgium trappist shit here, but it's a bit more expensive. The problem with a lot of European beer is that they ship it in green bottles exposed to light so by the time it makes it to the US it's all skunk.

>>69803754

Wrong.

>>69803337

Not really, i mean we get a lot of it up here but no one i know has ever bought any

Never heard of it.

>>69804744
Maybe. Hard to say. Honestly I'm not super interested in revisiting Italian wine because of how consistently disappointed I was. But I'm going to guess Italian wine goes better with Italian food than it does with the French/Anglocanuck stuff I usually eat, even if I'm technically pairing correctly.

I'm sure good Italian wine exists, but it's annoying to find it if you don't speak Italian or can import it directly. Similar to American beer: most of the stuff that makes it over the border is owned by huge breweries that produce mediocre to piss poor beer, mostly at low proof. So there's a reputation for American been being bland and low proof, but really it's that only the megabreweries can afford to export into Canada.

2bh the best wines I've had have been from France and South Africa. South African wine is way underpriced, and we should all drink it while it's still listed at a reasonable price. Canadian wine, especially Niagara wine, is also undervalued, but to a lesser extent and prices have been creeping upwards lately.

>>69802803
no, we make really good wine ourselves and people just drink local.

tho in recent years, i've seen lots of Chilean wine getting popular here and they are really good

No , because Spain has the right wine Californian wine tries to imitate.

But most of the US are so retarded, that unless the wine is labeled as "Tuscany , Italy" is not sold. So it's relabeled as such because americans don't go further than what they saw in a movie that made Tuscany popular.

Also , same stupid shit with olive oil.

Californian white whine is quite good if you are partying and need a light sweet wine. That's my limited experience tho, not trying to offend anyone.

Btw guys we should make a serious list of recommended /int/ wines, beer and spirits. What to avoid when abroad and what to get.

>>69811001
Well after a quick search, apparently they're consumed differently across the world.
Here we use it as an apéritif (sometimes with a slice of lemon in it). The Portuguese apparently also drink it as aperitive and cooled down (although it can be consumed at any time), and the anglos drink it as a digestive.
But maybe my source is utter bs, who knows.

>>69811125
A lot of things are regional and not available for export.
Like most our best beers, wines and even vodka are not exported. Only globalist huge brands are sold everywhere and even they are locally made. So some idk faxe beer made in Russia or Denmark taste different.
So it's pointless.

>>69811265
