Old World wines come from France, Germany, Italy, and Spain. New World wines are from the United States, Canada, and the Southern Hemisphere meaning Argentina, Chile, New Zealand, South Africa, and Australia.
New World wines tend to be fruitier and aggressive in the style and taste. Old World wines make you think of leather and smoke and are more subtle.
It is the difference between a biker chick flashing her breasts in Laconia and the woman with a parasol in a Monet painting.
I want to do a better job of appreciating Monet, but I'm still drawn to the flash. I think it is a matter of educating my palette so that I can appreciate what is subtle.

Wow. I wonder if wine has ever been compared to biker boobs before?
