England won the FIFA World Cup on home soil in 1966. They are always one of the favorites in the football version, however will their growing wine industry produce a winner for the World Cup of Wine?
United States of America
Wine Regions – As with many things in the USA they are bigger than everywhere else, this is true with the amount of their wine regions. Click here for all of them.
The USA have made great steps forward in the world of football, or “soccer”… Their wine industry has also come on leaps and bounds. Will they come up with a wine to win the World Cup of Wine though?
Algeria
Wine regions – Dahra, Mascara, Medea, Tlemcen, Zaccar
Another African nation which will be proud to take part in the first FIFA World Cup held in the continent. They could surprise many in the football tournament, and also in the World Cup of Wine. They have a long history of wine making in Algeria, but can they produce a world beating contender?
Slovenia
Wine regions – Podravje, Posavje, Primorje
Slovenia’s second FIFA world Cup finals appearance is a great achievement for the former Yugoslav republic. Wine production has a long history here though so it could provide a surprise or two.
