ArmInfo.Armenia, as wine region, attracted the attention of the Wine Enthusiast Magazine, one of the most respected and quoted authorities in the world of wine and spirits.
"Thrilled to share that Armenia has caught the attention of Wine Enthusiast, featuring the country in their latest article "7 Up-and-Coming Wine Regions That Should Be on Your Radar"," the Tourism Committee of Armenia committee reports.
Meanwhile, Wine Enthusiast Magazine, in its article in the section about Armenia notes, in partcular: "A wine region need not have been born yesterday to be considered up-and-coming. Across the world, ancient winemaking regions from Armenia to Italy have been in the midst of transformation due to changing political and environmental factors. Some fairly well-known, but underrated regions have been growing and evolving at a rapid pace, with expanding vineyards, changing winemaking techniques, increased exports or surges in tourism. Others have simply lived in the shadow of their more famous neighbors for too long, but have more recently been coming into their own, taking advantage of shifting consumer preferences where novelty and value outrank prestige or brand loyalty. Whatever the case may be, many wine-producing parts of the world are worthy of far more recognition than they've been receiving. Whether you're looking for your next great bottle, an unforgettable vacation destination or both, put these up-and-coming wine regions on your radar right now.
We note that in addition to Armenia, the list also includes the island of Crete, New Jersey, Uco Valley (Argentina), Uruguay, Texas Hill Country and Lugana (Italy).
