New World Wines

The term 'New World' is used to describe the wine producing regions that were established as an indirect result of the European exploration and colonisation that began with the voyages of Christopher Columbus in the 15th century. 'New World' is used in order to distinguish these wines from those of the 'Old World', a designation which includes the areas of Europe and the Mediterranean basin (including the Near East and North Africa).

Wine producing regions of the New World include Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, the United States, Argentina, Canada and Chile.
