I have used this glass in this Video: RIEDEL Performance Riesling.
I have tasted the following wine in this Video:
2021 Arnaud Lambert Clos de Midi Brézé Loire France - 23 US $
2021 Mullineux Kloof Street Chenin Blanc Swartland South Africa - 16 US $
2019 Mathiasson Chardonnay Linda Vista Napa Valley USA - 30 US $
2019 Wolmuth Chardonnay Ried Sausaler Schlössl Südsteiermark Austria - 22 US $
2017 Peter Lehmann The Barossan Grenache Barossa Valley Australia - 16 US $
2019 Pagos del Moncayo Prados Collecíon Garnacha Campo de Borja Spain - 12 US $
2019 Valérie Courrèges Bois Carmin Cahors France - 30 US $
2019 Colomé Estate Malbec Salta Argentina - 23 US $
The 100 Point Scoring System (from www.robertparker.com):
96-100: An extraordinary wine of profound and complex character displaying all the attributes expected of a classic wine of its variety. Wines of this caliber are worth a special effort to find, purchase and consume.
90 - 95: An outstanding wine of exceptional complexity and character. In short, these are terrific wines.
80 - 89: A barely above average to very good wine displaying various degrees of finesse and flavor as well as character with no noticeable flaws.
70 - 79: An average wine with little distinction except that it is a soundly made. In essence, a straightforward, innocuous wine.
60 - 69: A below average wine containing noticeable deficiencies, such as excessive acidity and/or tannin, an absence of flavor or possibly dirty aromas or flavors.
50 - 59: A wine deemed to be unacceptable.
The Oxford Companion to wine defines the Old World as “Europe and the rest of the Mediterranean basin such as the Near East and North Africa.” Other definitions say only Europe is the old world, but we know today, that the first wine production took place along the borders between Europe and Asia.
The New World describes the rest of the wine world. Wine countries in the Americas, Australia, Southern Africa, Australia, and the eastern Parts of Asia. New World Wine started to be produced after 1500 during the Age of Exploration and the Colonial era when Europeans settles in the new world.
But what is the difference between the two worlds?
When I practiced for the Master of Wine I usually started my blind tasting funneling process wondering: Is this a New World or an Old World wine as there are stylistic differences between the two.
In VERY general terms The Old world has stricter rules and a strong tradition when it comes to viticulture and winemaking. Many old-world regions are dominated by many small producers. The wines are often made more traditionally, premium wine production is more small scale and wines can be less “clean”.
In contrast, The New World is experimenting more and using advances in science to produce wines that are more tailored to meet current market trends. Also, wineries tend to be bigger and might be less focused on small vineyard selections.
Remember - I am generalizing here - but the notion of Terroir, the sense place of a vineyard is more important in the Old World than in the New World. You, therefore, find more references to specific vineyard sites on old-world labels. On the other hand: The grape variety is more important in the New World and is more likely to appear on the label.

14:58 - Konstantin doing the best smug face I've seen for a while. I've love to see a follow-up video to this, of how to identify old vs new world wines. I guess most of us watching have picked a lot of it up by now, by I think it'd be great to see it spelled out really clearly. In fact, a whole series of "how to identify" stuff would be amazing, different grapes, old vs new world, different ages (i.e. crianza, reserva and gran reserva) and all the other things that wine has. It's all second nature for MWs but I've found myself just recently being able to start to identfy grape varieties and a few other characteristics and I find it a really interesting topic. To answer the question: I don't know if I prefer old or new world. Generally I go for reds from Italy and southern France (especially Languedoc) but also South Africa and Australia. Recently I've been getting into Cab Sav and Merlot especially though, which makes me think I should drink more Bordeaux...but the cost of everything (not just wine) makes me think I should not be drinking Bordeaux at all!

I think whether you drink mainly Old World or New World wines has a lot to do with your budget, availability, market preferences and what most consumers in your part of the world purchase & drink. For me wines should have elegance, balance, typicity, intensity, complexity and length. I find that most of my wines are Old World wines because they can be found at more reasonable price points. If I want to find New World wines with the above attributes I have to look much harder and pay more per bottle. I also agree the differentiation between Old vs. New World is becoming more blurred now, as winemakers are trying to respect their terroir or keep up with changing consumer preferences. Another great video Konstantin, very fun and educational. Looking forward to the Aussie video, it would be cool if you were to include Aussie wines made from Italian/Spanish/Portuguese varietals, in addition to the "international French" ones.

True, preferences are one thing but they have to meet the budget to make it to the table. Personally I would love for wine to face zero tariffs everywhere to create optionality for the consumers, and compete on quality rather than price barriers and misplaced patriotism. The more there is to try, the better chance to discover something new that feels right.

Well done! Depends on what I want, if it's sparkling then definitely old world ,Champagne, Bourgogne, Jura, Cava Brut Nature and of course England. Reds are sort of 50/50 between Italy and Spain or Argentina, rarely from France. And whites are all over the place, dry PX whites from Chile, Chardonnays mainly from New Zealand and north Italy and Rieslings primarily from Germany.

Matthiasson is one of my favorite wineries in Napa Valley. I wish you lived in the US as the wine club is worth the money. They are minimal intervention wineries that makes unique wines for their members. They make an awesome Pinot Meunier that reminds me of a fruiter Gamay. The interesting thing about the wine making is that they mainly use used oak barrels and keep the wines lower in alcohol than most of Napa Valley.

Love the tasting! I am a bit sad that the worlds are colliding though. I don't go to France or Germany to eat McDonalds and I think each region should have its own flair and character. Personally, I miss the old oaky/buttery California Chardonnays (but then I don't miss the old high alcohol, tannic California monstrosities). I live relatively near the NY Finger Lakes so I am mostly drinking new world Riesling and Gewurztraminers these days but a good old world wine is always worth a taste.

Dear Konstantin, Thanks for the great videos. One thing which puzzles me about tasting in general, and especially when consideriing difficult blind tastings- i often have the impression that wine needs "to open up" (breath) after opening etc. You seem to just open, pour and drink. Do you compensate for the fact that the wine has been opened just before? Or is the subtle change of taste etc irrelevant for this purpose of tastings (or even irrelevant at all)?

I had thought that you would have been at 100K by next year sometime, I think you may be hitting that a bit sooner - and well deserved it is as your channel is easily the most informative and enjoyable one out there! I have been more and more impressed by the new world Bordeaux style blends coming out of Washington State. Although the old world styles are quite compelling, the cost of enjoying them is really becoming off putting as compared with other regions. So if you have not yet done a comparison of old world and new world Bordeaux blends, that may be interesting.

At least as far as old world reds goes, old world wines seem to be more in your face and busy in the sense of being structured and presenting a wine that screams where it's grapes were grown. You can almost taste the wine lineage. Konstantin, if you can, please try the 2019 Details By Sinegal, Cabernet Sauvignon. I just got done reviewing it and thought it was amazing. I paid $25 for the wine but it sells on the internet for $50, I think you will love it.

That was a great video, loved the LotR reference! For me it's more about the country than Old or New, I love Italian & Spanish wines, French less so, from the old and NZ, Aus & Argentina from the New, US less so. It's probably more the styles that I was first introduced to that determine my preferences. On cocktails, if you don't already have it I highly recommend the Death & Co. Cocktail book (first one not the Codex), it's the best I have though the ingredients can get complex. The best part about it is the layout, it's broken down by spirit then shaken or stirred so finding what you're feeling is easy compared to any other book, + the drinks are delicious.

Interesting choice of wines! Australia is not overly known for its grenache, at least compared with other red varietals like shiraz, cabernet, or pinot, and when grenache is used it is mostly in southern Rhone style GSM blends. Peter Lehmann is a producer famed for his shiraz, with that grenache coming in at a very reasonable price here of about $20AUD or €14. If you can find it, some of the very best Australian grenache is made by Cirillo, the grapes for which are grown from possibly the oldest surviving grenache vines in the world, dating back to 1848.

Fantastic tasting! Outstanding at picking the grapes. To me, old vs new is increasingly more about wine making philosophy than geographical areas. California remains firmly new world but many producers trying to be more old world. New York (Long Island) is very old world in my opinion (very small producers, very focused on terroir, fairly high acidity, not excessive oak). South West of France generally very old world (apparently except this Cahors), while the Languedoc Roussillon is quite new world in style. I find that a lot of Spanish reds are pretty new world in fact. Same for Chile and Australia, while I find Argentina mostly old world (probably best value for money at the moment). Italy is very firmly in the old world in almost every area.

Old World with food and New World to socialise with or just chilling in front of the TV... Not a rigid choice by any means, but my go to generalisation...

I will be totally honest here, our two most favorite regions are Bordeaux and Tuscany. Cannot be more classic than that they say but that the truth. The two sub-regions where we have never ever been disappointed are St-Émilion and Montalcino. Very different grape varieties (mostly Merlot + Cab S & Cab F vs Sangiovese 100%) but the stability of the quality from these appellations is so amazing it's just unbelievably record breaking. They really know what they are doing in these regions... Well, all that said of course we are extremely opened to discoveries and we keep our wine tastings around 15-20% oriented towards Bordeaux and Tuscany, however our olfaction/palate has been admittedly more satisfied by old world over the last 15-20 years. 25 years ago we drank almost exclusively new world wines mostly from the US because we were lacking experience and we were having this sweet tooth syndrome with red wines. My parents, who were already very experienced and passionate people with wine, were (not condescendingly) laughing at us and were always telling us that we would laugh at ourselves a couple of decades in the future. And just as clockwork, here we are. We now understand, but at the same time we kind of feel bad about how we now look at the new world wines, we know it's not fair and we try really hard to forget the fact it's almost stronger than us to feel this way. It's almost like a pre-loaded judgment that we can't escape... I know it's definitely not okay but as a salvation motive I should point out that we still feel humble and very little in the wine world despite having tasted probably hundreds of thousands of wines, but we almost feel like humble teenagers who played piano for only a decade, and we were able to laugh at ourselves and evolve a lot, so much so that my parents recently decided to give us their 97K$ cellar composed of 60% Burgundy wines that we are definitely not connoisseur enough to even hope understanding what's going on with something like a RC La Tâche at 4K$ a bottle (there are three good to great vintages in there). This is a gift that will keep on giving I'm sure. And this was probably a way for my parents to let us know that we should stay humble, even after having many Mouton, Haut-Brion, Yquem, etc. verticals, that we were so proud to say we had this experience. Before they died, they told me they could open a Sassicaia 1985 and taste the whole thing in silence, with just visual cues to be at the same place. That's exactly where I want to be before I die.

Hi Konstantin, Interesting tasting! The scores between 5 and 6 little bit unclear. There is a huge difference between 90 and 84 points. For my opinion the Grenache from Spain couldn’t be rated as “well done wine” with rate 84.

No definitive preference, for me, but I guess I'd lean towards Old World, as my favourite New World wines tend to lean towards more of an Old World style.

For me old world/new world doesn't matter. The wine must be good. That's all.
