The USA is a huge and wonderfully varied destination for wine lovers, with styles that range from crisp, citrusy whites to bold, fruit driven reds. In recent decades, American winemaking has earned a strong reputation for quality, helped by different climates across the country. From the sun soaked vineyards of California to the cooler coastal regions, you can expect plenty of expression in every bottle.

When exploring USA wines, it helps to think about the producer and the growing region. California is the best known, often producing rich Cabernet Sauvignon, smooth Zinfandel and refreshing Chardonnay with a mix of oak and vanilla notes. Elsewhere, you may find lighter styles that focus more on freshness and flavour balance.

This category also makes a great choice if you enjoy pairing drinks with food. For example, lighter whites are ideal for seafood and salads, while medium to full bodied reds work beautifully with barbecues, burgers and hearty casseroles. With such variety available, there’s usually a bottle to match everything from casual evenings to special occasions.

If you’re browsing, take your time and look for tasting notes that suit your taste, then you’ll find an easy new favourite from the range.
