I don't drink USA wine because I don't trust what will be in it, due to your poor regulations.
- evgen 6y agoKind of a dumb choice since it is one of the few world-class US products that you can actually depend upon. If you are choosing something decent it is likely to come from the west coast of the US where the food production and environmental regulations are as good as and often superior to the EU. Unlike products produced in bulk and sold as undifferentiated commodities wine, wine is tied directly to the specific vintner and their reputation.
- amiga_500 6y agoParts of the US being potentially "as good as the EU". Nope, I'll just buy from the EU, thanks.
- jeffbee 6y agoRight, if you want a bottle of wine that stands some chance of containing mainly grapes, you're shelling out $30/bottle for estate-bottled wines of reputable viticultural areas. It's just too expensive. On the other hand this is why I only buy California olive oil. You never know what's in European olive oil.
