Old World Vs New World – The Adventurer Series - Old World Vs New World

Jamie and Alex explore the history of the battle between the old and new worlds of winemaking. At one point, there was no contest – the history and prestige of the old world was king… but, around the 1970s, things started to change fast and the new world has had an astonishing rise.
