Some are classics from the 0ld World, some full blown alternative from the New World. In each issue, we take a closer look at two international brands, what lies behind them and why they work.

Some consumer brands strive to have the same product at the same price in all markets; others tweak their packaging or their price to adapt to local necessities. How does wine fare? For this issue our panel looked at three red wines purchased in supermarkets in nine countries on three continents to answer that question. |
