Abstract
The culture of wine has evolved considering the climatic, economic and political circumstances of each region or country. Another factor, which also has an influence, is the changes in the consumers: knowing and trying more wines, they demand certain characteristics to fulfill their expectations. This successful growth owes much to the search for health. Various medical studies confirm the beneficial effects of ingesting moderate amounts of wine with meals. To reach this market, producers are aware of the evolution of consumers and how they can cover their expectations; the world wide tendency of consumers is towards light, fruity and cheaper wines. Thus producers are placing their wines in places where before they were reserved only for traditional or classic wines. This is the basis of this new culture of wine, which is shown by the simpleness and clarity of the concepts and is promoted by the producers and sought by the consumers. For the lovers of wine, this is a beneficial reverse, since with or without knowledge, we can try a wine based on a realistic relation of price to quality. However we should not forget that wine is an art which we can drink. It can be enjoyed much more if we have the necessary knowledge to be able to talk about it, as we drink it.
