  I just finished a very interesting article regarding the wine industry in Australia (they currently have an excess of 20million cases, and it continues to grow at a few million per year.

  Is it just me or are new wines Particularly whites and lighter reds becomming more acid. Is this consumer driven or are we accepting the advise of our learned collegues.

  It seems to me that no grape or wine creates as much heated debate as the humble chardonnay.We read about the great white burgundies and their legendary status, ageing capacity and amazing flavour profile, yet we the wine consumer seem to want to find an ever increasing number of reasons to dislike it.We even have the ABC Club [Anything But Char...
