导读:回顾澳大利亚葡萄酒业过去的12个月,很诱人的是,“幸运之乡”的招式讽刺甚至是彻头彻尾的讽刺讽刺。需要一种特殊的人才能从大南部土地经常荒凉的地理环境中谋生,但澳大利亚人似乎很乐于将辛勤工作与机智和乐观相结合,以使自己的国家为他们工作。
它的酿酒师也一样。仅在过去的一年里,他们就面临着科维德大流行,但还不得不应对持续十年的干旱,毁灭性的丛林大火,根瘤菌爆发以及最近的一次来自中国政府的威胁,指责他们指责澳大利亚倾销葡萄酒在中国市场上。
然而自澳大利亚葡萄酒业开始以来,澳大利亚一直面临挑战,我们常常忘记那是多久了。葡萄藤于1788年与第一批欧洲移民一起到达,大约200年前第一批葡萄酒被出口。澳大利亚葡萄酒在19世纪欧洲举行的多次比赛中给评委们留下了深刻的印象,但其葡萄酒生产商可能不得不应对所有最大的挑战-贪睡。
因此尽管澳大利亚生产者尽了最大的努力,但这些态度在他们本应采取的态度之后很久才盛行。1930年代一位备受推崇的葡萄酒作家莫里斯·希利(Maurice Healy)傲慢地表示,虽然澳大利亚可能生产了一些令人无法接受的强化葡萄酒,但其佐餐葡萄wine却成为了他们从中冒出来土壤受害者:“Australian soil appeared to have become so rich that it was impossible to make wine from it. It was as hard as iron; the so-called wine in your mouth rusted.”
他还视他们为“难以消化食物”。因此,Australia’s wines tend to enter overseas markets at relatively low prices, especially Britain, to attract buyers. However, this strategy's problem is that it's difficult to increase prices to a reasonable balance between value and quality.
Despite its reputation being shaken by such expensive wines as Grange, Grace Hill and Astralis, its reputation has been built on more humble and hardworking wines such as Jacobs Creek, Wynns, Taylor and Hardy. These names have no "small" part in them. They and others have established the Australian wine platform now they achieve this through providing price-reasonable quality wines - you can't say fairer than that.
However, despite Australia's reputation being built on red wine's solid foundation but the list of most valuable wines tells a completely different story. But first let us reiterate these lists' standards. For this series of "most valuable" stories with the algorithm suggesting the most valuable wines' standards we adopt a more direct point-per-dollar ratio to simplify "value for money" scale.
Simply dividing scores by price gives us a value factor which gets higher when value is better - an index measured in dollars per point. The value coefficient gets higher every dollar increment gets higher too.
Typically when we run our top-tier lists we won't consider vintage but since vintage variation affects scores greatly thus we concentrate most valuable lists around single-vintage wines.
