The real difference in wine can be broken down into old wines and new wines. Old wines tend to be lighter bodied with lower alcohol content, higher acidity and less fruity with more mineral flavors. Old world wines are typically from central and southern Europe. While new world wines lean toward full-bodied, higher alcohol, less acidity, with pronounced fruit flavors. New world wines come from around the globe. Ancient wines stem from Turkey, Armenia, Lebanon, Georgia, Israel, Cyprus, Greece, and the middle east. They are generally unfiltered and need to be drunk while young.
