Wine and Wines in the Philippines.

Italy is the oldest wine producing region, and the wines are considered to be among the most prestigious wines in the world. This region is also one of Europe’s most dynamic wine countries.

Wine is the main beverage in Italy. Italians drink it with every meal and in-between, and offer it to guests as soon as they arrive. Grapes are grown in almost every part of Italy, with more than 1 million vineyards under cultivation. Each region is proud of its carefully tended, neatly pruned vines. In some places the vines are trained along low supports. In others they climb as slender saplings. The people of each region are also proud of the wine they make from their own grapes.
