An Introduction to the World's Wine Making Regions
 Wine has become more diverse throughout the centuries. From the start of civilization in Mesopotamia, wine consumption and production have spread throughout the entire world. As explorers and colonists moved to different regions of the world, they brought with them the knowledge necessary for the cultivation of grapes and the production of wine.

While wine is produced worldwide in modern times, several areas have historically been known for their winemaking, including France and Italy. New world countries, including Chile, Australia and the United States, are increasingly singled out for their excellent wines. In fact, wine can be found in almost every country in one form or another.
