When it comes to what varietal wines are
the most popular among consumers around the globe, there are the big six. For
whites, Chardonnay has to top the list. Produced or sold almost everywhere, it
is considered the “vanilla” of wine. Next would be Riesling, followed by
Sauvignon Blanc. Heading the list of reds is Cabernet Sauvignon. Also seen
globally, it is indeed the “chocolate” of wine. Then there is Pinot Noir and
Syrah/Shiraz. Believe it or not, part of the reason these varietal wines are so
popular is because consumers can pronounce the names. Although other
indigenous, varietal wines of specific countries are popular, from my
experience of traveling the wine world regularly for well over 3 decades, this
is what I’ve seen.
