From what I have read, some of the Italians are re-thinking their
internationalization of wines, going back to strongly regionalized
grape types (Aglianico, Barbera, etc.) instead of Merlots and Cabernet
Sauvignons...

Wine authorities have been extensively discussing the issue about
Homogenization and Globalization of wine. Conclusions are often vague and
indecisive. It's always the Old World against the New World, traditions
against scientific methods etc. My opinion is, if all wines are made more or
less the same based on the "International taste", then it's not "wine" we
should be talking about but rather just alcoholic grape juice. We don't
discuss about an industrial beverage like Coke as much as we do wine because
it doesn't matter which country they are from, they taste the same. What's
your opinion?
