4A few months ago, I read a story in the press about the wineproduction in Spain under the next headline: France fears spanishwines. It explained how Spain became in 2013 the first wineproducer in the world, with more than 50 million hectoliters of wine inonly one year. This way, and for the first time in history, Spainsurpassed France and Italy in an strategic area for the spanisheconomy. However, even though production level is definitely a veryimportant factor, so is the quality. And in this sense, the headline ofthe story couldnt be more correct. France should fear spanish wines,but so should do Italy, USA, South Africa, Chile, Argentina,Australia and any other of the countries where wine and grapes havesuch an important meaning.


5Althoug is not something new in the last years, Spain has become, forright and own merits, a privileged player in the international winescene. Here, spanish wines look face to face to french wines. Evenmany times they look over the shoulder to chileans, italians oramericans.Through hard and good work, and blessed by an exceptional climateand soil, spanish wines deserved the place they are now.

Nevertheless, a little black spot has appeared over the inmaculatereputacion of spanish wines. The hardness of the economic crisis thathas shaken Spain in the past five years has weakened the nationalwine market. Even though spanish wine is mostly the first option inthe spanish homes, consumption has fall steadily in the last years.Because of that, now that economy seems to recover, it is a goodmoment to remember ourselves the huge quality and variety ofspanish wines, which are called to occupy once again the place theydeserve. To this task tries to help the GUA INTERVINOS, thah onemore year comes to offer an exclusive selection of the best spanishwines. From Rioja to Ribera del Duero of course, passing by other lessknown areas, this book is an exceptional ally for devoted wine lovers,but so for those who want to start their wine knowledge.

In any case, you shouldnt forget that the best wine is the one we likethe most. The one that more feelings, rememberings or emotions evokeon us. Because of that, the GUA INTERVINOS, as usual, comeswithout tasting notes. We prefer to contribute with a mere orientation,with information about the wine and the winery, and a score of everywine.You should be the one who discovers each wine and explain what doesit transmit to you. The same wine, tasted by two different people, canappear similar or, on the other side, completely different. We wont bethe one that tells you what features perceive or what emotions to feel.What we expect is that this guide orientates you in your trip to thissurprising and wonderful destiny which is spanish wine.
