THERE'S NO ACCOUNTING FOR TASTE

Is Sauvignon Blanc the world's most popular wine type?

Some pundits are touting this and 90% of New Zealand's wine exports are from this boring style.
It may be crisp and refreshing but so is soda water with a splash of lemon juice.

Originating from Bordeaux in France, Sauvignon Blanc for centuries produced 'Graves-style' dry wine that was good as an aperitif but never considered to be in the 'top team' of wines. It's now grown in most wine producing countries and dominates white wine production.

Go figure.
