don't sleep on (someone or something)

meaning: Don't fail to appreciate or ignore the significance of someone or something. ... They may be underdogs, but don't sleep on them in these playoffs.

No doubt that Moldova produces a honest wine, but to be sincere with you there is no way it could compete with the best vintage wines from France, Italy, California, Spain or Argentina...

In any of the countries of the list, you can find great wines and horrible wines.

France has always known how to sell its products very well, and in terms of image it beats everyone, not always so much in quality.

With this I am not saying that France does not have very good wines, it does, but not nearly as good as the price that many of them have.

Anyway, the best wine is the one you like the most, not the one that anyone tells you is the best. And the one you like the most is the one you drink easily and effortlessly.

And of course, the best wine is not necessarily the most expensive.

It's true that many French wines intended for export are overrated.

But on the other hand, the high price for the most sought after grands crus is justified, according to oenologists, since the perfect harvest conditions are seldom met.

A couple of years ago, a bottle of Romanée Conti (a notorious Burgundy considered as the world's most expensive wine) from the 1945 vintage was sold 558 000 dollars.

I tend to choose Spaniard Cavas over French Champagnes. Better value of money.

I can't imagine Formula One drivers celebrating their victory with Spanish cava.

I dont like drinking Wine too much but I think its most likely a Tie between Italy, France and Spain.

Any sommelier or wine professional would put it in that order.

Yep, I'd say Italy, France, Spain (depending on type of course, and I only drink red wine). But definitely I think California wines are way overrated and Macedonian wines under-rated.

LOL. Those people/organizations will not need to think how much bottle of one will cost (opposite to me). Not to talking about huge magnum bottles. But I bet good quality Cavas will still taste as good as Moet and Chandon.

Perhaps YOU wouldn't see any difference, but I can guarantee that the least experienced wine experts do. As clear as night and day.
It would be like comparing a Fiat Panda with a Lamborghini Countach.

Not really a fan of wine or alcohol in general. I prefer Ouzo, Tsikoudia/Tsipouro or Beers if anything.

There are some decent varieties of wines here I think which may also be quite VFM since the wine culture and demand is far lower than in Southwestern Europe.

I would only drink expensive wine with Mortimer discussing the angles of our dickpics with stronk Blakan turbo-folk playing in the background.

Hungary (no bias at all!)

Your Tokay is quite good.
