The Growing Popularity of Riesling

Riesling has been gaining favor among wine lovers and everyday drinkers alike. Its versatility and ability to be made into sparkling, dessert, and table wines have contributed to its rising popularity. Additionally, new world Rieslings are now drier, making them more versatile and savory.
