Wines

A trip through a world of weird and wonderful wines that defy modern conventions or go against tradition, but are delightfully interesting all the same!

This little sub-blog's purpose is to showcase some brilliantly curious and curiously brilliant wines from all parts of the world.

Whether it be grape varieties popping up where they are least expected, grapes you have never heard of and couldn't possibly pronounce or even those thought to be long extinct, suddenly re-appearing centuries later (Carménère and Pugnitello spring to mind), this blog will introduce all kinds of wine oddities to you.

Fish out of water

These are wines and grapes showing up far from home or where they are least expected to be grown.

Vino Incognitus

Mysterious grape varieties or styles of wine unknown to much of the world.
Some could still be classic or have ancient origins in their own regions.

Back from the Dead

Varieties of grapes who have either:
Fallen out of favour in recent years or
Thought to have gone extinct, before
re-discovery brought them back around.
