I know this article is based in UK but it is also relevant to the U.S. It talks about the challenges S.A wine faces. How people more often then not turn the nose up at it. I find a lot of people say to me. “Where is your French wine?” To which I happily respond to Miss, you are in a South African wine bar. to which they question South Africa makes wine? It goes to show how the market for S.A wine is not quite that large yet. Which often leads to higher prices on the wine. However the people who do not know about more often then not end up falling in love with it. They realize that the Chenin Blancs from here can rival the Chenins from Loire…. Okay to a degree.
