What are some of the best wine regions to look for white wine values?
For white wines, dry Riesling from Germany is a great value. The wines are often overlooked as consumers usually associate Riesling with sweet. • Q: What about red wine values? A: For red wines, Australian Shiraz usually offers the best value. • Q: Why do certain regions and producers consistently come out ahead of others in terms of value? A: For Germany, I think it is a supply/demand issue. Not many folks turn to German Riesling wines and therefore the wines do not command the high markups of other wines. And for Australia, since the Australian wine industry started after most other wine regions, they were able to take advantage of the technology and farm their wine more cost effectively than most other regions. • Q: What are some other factors are that readers might look for to find wines with good QPR? A: Using WineBlueBooks “Average Price per Score” chart you can easily find wine values to determine if the score and price of the wine you are holding in your hand is a value or not.
