The facts about wine from Spain:
There are 4 million acres of vineyards in Spain making it the world’s largest country under vine. Spain is the fourth largest wine producer in the world and the single largest producer of wine in Europe.
Over the last few decades the Spanish wine industry has undergone radical changes. With the introduction of modern winemaking techniques new and alternative wine styles have been emerging. Spanish legislation is now more tolerant of foreign grape varieties and experimentation in the vineyards and winery and the Denominación de Origén classification system has been modernised to better reflect the quality Spanish wines that are being produced today.
With the impact that New World countries have had, there is now a great diversity of wines of all styles and prices available. Spain has woken up to the challenge of increased competition and a more sophisticated and adventurous wine drinker and is today producing new and exciting Spanish wines which reflect Spain's legendary enthusiasm and passion.
The history and culture of old style Spain have not been forgotten and we believe that the Spanish wines we have to offer you here at SpainDirect UK reflect the combination of traditional charm and modern vibrancy the wine from Spain offers today.
