Where in the world produces the best red wine

For me it’s my favourite place on earth

The Languedoc in south west France

A third of all Frances wine is produced here and 11% of the worlds Rose

Hmmm had a nice Australian red

Can't remember the name but was from a vineyard just outside Brisbane.

I like them to not have too much sulfates

Chilean wine seldom disappoints but European classics like Chateauneuf du Pape, Fleurie, Barolo etc take some surpassing.

I do like the unfashionable, slow-ageing, high-tannin, oaky wines of Bordeaux's Left Bank. Some old-school Ribera del Duero and Riojas still have these qualities, too. That dark blackcurrant, cedar-shaving scent. Black pepper and cherries. Gorgeous.

It can have, yes. But often their wines are fruitier, fresher, and designed to be d*unk fairly young, like almost all places these days.

High tannin plus fatty foods equals happiness. This is why cheese makes so many red wines taste even better

Very much so. And apples make them.taste worse. Hence the wine-trade saying,'Buy on apples, sell on cheese.'

"A good Italian full bodied red for me, a primitivo or similar"

I have to agree. A good DOCG like a Barolo to me is as good as anything from Languadoc and often a fraction of the price.

I do like wines of Languadoc , especially the ones you can buy there and the prices, but basing this on access to wine in the uk below £50 a bottle it’s Italian for me

For £20-£30 a bottle, Italian is way ,,way better than French. At this price I can’t tell the French from any other country sold in supermarkets like chilli or Argentina at £5 , it’s pretentious and overpriced

I like the odd Malbec and Rioja but it’s a different experience to drinking Italian wine.

For me it's got to be Bavaria.

Hardly anyone outside of Germany even realises they produce red wine but the village I lived in. Man the local red was beautiful.

And doing the rounds of each villages wine festival was a wonderful way to spend summer.

I strongly sense this thread may be the genesis for an Oenological Fab Social. In London, of course.

Anyway, I recommend a Sancerre Rouge Terre de Maimbray. Deep cherry flavour and a dry but lingering finish.

Oddly Ruby Woo (and Russian Red) fall rather flat on me! (And Velvet Teddy makes me look ill)

Lady Danger on the other hand - absolutely stunning.

I prefer the Lisa Eldridge Velvet Ribbon True Velvet Lip Colour. It obediently remains on the lips and stays off my collar.
