Australia, a land built by pioneers, is a wine pioneer as well. Never a country to enjoy conforming to rules, Australia has made its own, extremely successful upfront wine styles - all at an affordable price.
New Zealand is another country that challenges the Old World wines, especially with its benchmark style of Sauvignon Blanc. Generally speaking, it produces cool-climate New World wines that are less brash than those produced in Australia, and it excels at grapes that the Aussies find more difficult, such as Pinot Noir and Riesling.
