When it comes to wine producing countries, Spain is at the top of the list. In fact, it won't be an exaggerated statement that world's finest wines are produced in Spain. The taste and delicacy of Spanish wines are widely acclaimed by lovers. One might wonder as to what comprise such a refined taste. The answer is various types of grapes, which are cultivated across almost all locations in Spain.

Due to the vast, extensive nature of wine types, those at Baileys Wines have developed 'wine search' facilities, enabling consumers to select and locate products quickly and to their exacting requirements. Searching begins simply by entering a keyword phrase, followed by selecting the preferred region, colour and price range. After hitting 'search', an individually tailored list of wines appears, allowing the customer to make a swift, hassle free purchase.

There are not less than five hundred native grapes in Spain. The plantations of grape-carrying vines across the agricultural land catch the eyes by their scenic beauty. These vineyards bear the grapes, from which wine is made. Interestingly, non-alcoholic grapes are also produced in Spain at a large-scale. But these are mostly to produce fruit juices or non-alcoholic beverages. Grapes which are required exclusively for wine makingbelong to a different family. However, wine-lovers feel a slight similarity between the tastes of wine and grape juice. This is due to viniculture, the research and production of grapes is behind the producing both wine and grape juice. But other than taste, sophistication is a big issue. Spanish wines carry a distinguished sophistication. In a party, where all gentlemen are wearing tuxedos and women are wearing lebas majlesi, a bottle of Tierra de Castilla or Borsao Campo Borja fits perfectly with the atmosphere.

Every year large number of Spanish wines are exported to USA. It's lovers based in United States are simply mad for Spanish red wines. The typicality of US wineries is that they prefer wines, which taste much like strong fruit juices. Other than United States, two main importers of Spanish wines are United Kingdom and Germany. Actually, wine-making in Spain includes both white and red wine. But white wine is mainly for domestic use while red wine is imported by other countries heavily.

While it took some time for all wines from Spain to be recognized on the world market, there has for centuries been a demand for sherry, a popular type of wine that has always been a favorite of British merchants. The demand for sherry traveled all the way to what is referred to as the new world, or the North American continent, during the time of Columbus. Sherry is produced in the southern region of Spain, and is produced by a technique that mixes different vintages of wine. Newer wines are moved through barrels of aged wines in order to produce a deeper and richer flavor.

Today, wines from Spain are just as competitive and appreciated as wines from any other region, including Italy and France. They are often some of the highest ranking in world competitions and wine Olympics. So if you're looking for something new and exciting by way of wines, give Spanish wines a try!
