Comparing wines in these countries is as difficult as comparing wine in any different countries in general. Every country, or better said, every wine region has it´s own wine specialities. Be it white or red wine, it depends a lot on the soil, the sun, the humidity and rainfall values etc. It also depends on wine growing and wine making traditions, technologies used and quality standards.
