Europe's wine countries consist of France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Portugal, Hungary, and England. Italy was formerly known as "Oenotria" by the Greeks, which translate to: the land of wine. Italy produces a lot of wine compared to any other country in the world.

Some of the famous wine making ares in Italy are Valle D'Aosta, Lombardy, Veneto, Umbria, and, of course, Tuscany. The type of the land that produces the wonderful grapes that are used to make fine wine is one of charm and romance. So it stands to reason that the wine making regions of the world are additionally the most frequently picked destinations for honeymooners.

Even though Italy makes the most wine, that doesn't tell that it has the wine market pinned down ...or the honeymoon market, for that matter. The wine made in France is probably the country most recognized for producing fine wines. In fact, when most people think of excellent wine, they think of French wine initially. France has a long and storied wine-producing history, and French wine has become somewhat of the "gold standard" by which all other wines are judged.

Spain is quickly becoming a wine-producing region to be considered. The wines that are made in Spain taste fruitier rather than woody. Most of the achievements that Spain is enjoying as a wine making region can be attributed to their fastidious consideration to quality.

Germany struggles to turn into a competitor in the world of wine makers. It has had a difficult time getting any respect. Germany is known for beer and breaking into the wine market has proven to be a hard undertaking. But they are acting on the issue and they are making a little improvement. There are a lot of fine wines that are created in Europe, and you absolutely can tell that Europe is wine country. - 24553
