We recently came across a comprehensive website on Spanish wine, Wines from Spain. It is a great resource for everyone from beginners to connoisseurs and covers the entire nation.
Here is some information on them and their goal:
The Spanish Institute for Foreign Trade (Instituto Español de Comercio Exterior, ICEX) is the authorised governmental platform for the promotion of Spanish exports and Spanish companies’ international growth. Vinos de España -or Wines from Spain- is ICEX’s branding for a wide range of promotional activities designed to inform consumers abroad about quality Spanish wines. This website has been set up for the same purpose.
For professionals in the wine world (importers, distributors, journalists) it offers news, statistics and a range of up-to-date information. Designed as a practical working tool for everyday use, it includes profiles of new wines, production and export figures, and contact information.
At the same time it offers consumers a chance to broaden their knowledge by browsing through a wide range of information on background history, on vineyards and winemaking, on the characteristics differentiating the distinct winemaking areas, and on the varieties that give our wines personality. This webpage also gives access to an extensive database of Spanish wineries and wines. For more information from Wines from Spain, click here.
