Great idea. I've tried a lot of these, though not all. Don't hold out high hopes for Chinese wine - from what I've tried it is, charitably speaking, not great. Great Wall was the most common label. It was, at least, better than the local wine I tried in Vietnam. I mainly subsist on southern hemisphere wines, living in Australia, so despite the volume of production in Europe and the US, those are pretty rare for me. NZ pinots (Central Otago) and sauv blancs (Marlborough) are big here, as well as local shiraz, cab sav and sauv blanc - particularly from the Barossa Valley region in South Australia and also the Margaret River over in Western Australia. Argentine and Chilean wines are widely available, but variety is lacking. Lots of Concha y Toro and other export oriented-oriented brands, rather than the more interesting stuff you'd find in the Elqui Valley or around Mendoza, which has a great variety of delicious Malbecs.

I'm French, and it's actually not easy at all to find foreign wine here - I'm guessing both because of chauvinism, and because France does objectively produce a lot of really good wine in all price ranges, so it's hard for other wines to compete when you factor in transportation. Also, many countries, especially from the Southern hemisphere that make great wine don't really export it to France - so whatever little we do get is usually not great. I've heard that it's similar with whisky in Scotland - it's obviously the best place to get amazing scotch, but if you want a greater variety of whikies from around the world, you're better off buying it in England or France! Anyway, it sucks that you can't get your hand on a lot of European wines. We have some awesome stuff - and not just in France and Italy! I'm personnally partial to some German whites and Greek reds!

I find Greek wines to be really underappreciated. First, for such a small country, I find that they have an amazing range of grapes and methods. Also, there's just something about the warm climate, the arid and very mineral soil, that makes for a lot of character. They've been making wine for millenia there, so there's bound to be some knowledge and expertise! Anyway, if you can get your hand on the stuff, do try it!
WillemLAif

Might have something to do with the spread. I have rarely seen Greek wine anywhere (outside Greece) and the only two I have tried had tar or resin or something like that mixed in there. It's, you could say, an acquired taste.

Yes, if it was white, that was probably restina ! Definitely an acquired taste. I personnally love it - tastes like summer in the Greek islands to me! Luckily, if you don't like it (which I totally understand), there are a lot of other options to try! If you like sweet wines, maybe try to find a Mavrodaphni, or a sweet white from Samos. Otherwise, Cretan reds are generally a safe bet.

I don't know how in the hell Moldova produces more wine than Romania. It's much smaller, 1/6th the population, and situated more north. So basically I'm telling you I missed Moldova. Also missed New Zealand, which there's no excuse for. It's kind of refreshing to see China not at the #1 spot (or even in the top 5) for production of something for once.
