Which country makes the best wine?

I'm sorry, I didn't know you caress your grapes with diamonds and turn the soil with golden ploughs. You probably think we water our vines with Chernobyl water, smh.

Then how do you explain that Moldovan wines are not praised by wine experts in the same way that they do with wines from France, Tuscany, California?

There must be a good reason, don't you think?

I don't see us and Georgia on the list

My vote for these countries

But they are praised.

Alcohol is very expensive here (selling prices incl. heavy taxes). So normal people here will drink bit lower class wines vs some other countries in Europe ... meaning with same sum of money per bottle .... we get worse wines.

But among of reasonable priced red wines exactly here (keeping also minds our pretty limited choices in shop ... ALKO has monopol position) I have found Portuguese red wines pretty good.

And so? Celtic FC is champion of the Scottish League. It doesn't necessarily mean they have a chance to win the Champion's League in a near future.

Portuguese and Chilean wines are usually the cheapest
wines available at the Scandinavian vinmonopol stores.

American wine in general and Californian wine in particular are excellent and I don't understand why they are absent from the poll...(like the finest German wines)

...but Moldovan wine ??? four bucks for its most expensive bottles...

C'mon maaaan

Like my grandpappy used to say "Don't sleep on Moldovan wine"

[Melki]

Like my grandpappy used to say "Don't sleep on Moldovan wine"

Which means?

[Daco Celtic]

Which means?

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.

Chilean for sure (and those are quite popular among of cheap wines). I still think they all tasted (what we have) pretty similar.

But there are few ''bad'' qualities available from some other well known wine countries as well.
