Wines
A lot of countries produce grapes for great wines, which are found around the world.
Riesling Wines originate in Germany. It is a white wine with a flower like aroma and is made from the juice of the Riesling grape. Many other countries grow Riesling grapes and produce wine including Canada, Italy, and Australia.
The French produce the most wine in the world. France is known for its wine production, with regions like Bordeaux, Champagne, and Burgundy being famous for their high-quality wines.
NO, there are dozens of sweeter wines. In France the Rose de Anjou, and in Germany almost all the Rhine wines.
Since German wines come from a marginal climate ( cool and damp where in some years the grapes won't fully ripen). This type of climate can produce wines that are high in acidity and low in alcohol. Even though many North Americans believe all wines from Germany are sweet and fruity believe it or not a lot are dry. Due to the climate in Germany if the grapes don't ripen the wines can be very sharp to the taste. It is legal for German winemakers to allow some of the grape juice to be left unfermented (in some countries like the US this practice is illegal). The unfermented grape juice provides the wine with some fruitiness and balances the acidity. Quality German wines tend to have a refreshing acidity, never a cloying acidity.
Tuscany is probably the most famous with Chiante and Brunello wines. The Piedmont is also pretty famous with Barolo being one of its best wines. But Italy grows wine in every corner, most of it pretty decent, too.
