The Italian Abroad Wine Blog is a wine blog and diary where I share my thoughts, primarily about Italian wine and food, but also on wine, food, and travel in general. I founded Italyabroad.com in 2003 and have been living abroad for over 20 years. Coming from an Italian winemaking family, I was introduced to wine at a very early age. While my roots are in Italian wine, I appreciate and enjoy good wine from all over the world, alongside great food and the joys of travel. My posts often weave these passions together.
To help you better understand Italian wines, we've created a series of Italian wine regions maps that show DOC and DOCG wines, their origins and the grapes they are made of, including your favorite Italian wines. I’ve also written a post on the Italian wine appellation system explaining and demystifying the Italian wine classification system and what it really means for wine lovers and enthusiasts.
Additionally, I host a YouTube channel , where you can watch me taste some of our wines and answer your questions about Italian wines and grapes. From the meaning of DOC to what makes an orange wine, we cover it all.
I hope you enjoy reading this wine blog! Feel free to reach out with any questions.

No or low alcohol drinks is a trend and as such, as a business we can't ignore it and we are not, however, no alcohol wine or spirits is something Italians don’t do, except Peroni which we all know it is not Italian, and the ones I tried, not Italian, were not good
Dry January, a whole month completely off alcohol, is difficult to achieve. Dry January is like any other new year’s resolution, difficult to stick it. For most people, it only last a couple of weeks at the most, dry January is no different than joining a gym or giving up chocolate. If we really want to change people drinking habits and improve the nation’s health, we need a year round initiative aimed at raising awareness about alcohol abuse, we don’t need any dry month. It possibly is a cultural thing, not easy to change, but if we really want to improve our health and wallet, we need a lot more than a dry month once a year.
Grappa is the most Italian of all Italian spirits, obtained from a waste product, the pomace, the left over from the wine making process, was originally the poor people ‘s drink. Rich people would make and drink the wine and give the left over to the poor people for them to make their own drink, grappa, drink that until recently, did not have a great reputation amongst spirits lovers
