Armenia in TOP-7 wine regions recommended for tourists to visit

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).
