- Increased consumption of quality wines average up - The best quality wines gained ground, and are present when people drink in their homes or in a relaxed way, in restaurants. It became a habit of sophistication that has come to the middle classes, and is no longer restricted to the elite.
- The amount given way to quality
- Globalization of taste - We can not deny that we drink today much better than our parents, but it's lost a bit of the romanticism of regional wines produced from grapes of great tradition in producing regions. Due to its better quality, some strains (usually French) won a lot of space, being assimilated into other regions. These include the Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, etc.. Gain in quality over a certain standardization of taste.
