Wrong wrong wrong. Rheingau and Mosel-Saar-Ruwer make the best
dry and semi-sweet white wine in the world. Only Bourgogne can
compete with the dry ones, the semi-sweet have no competition
except possibly selection de grains nobles from Alsace.
Among the best wine-making regions you forgot Piemonte and
Toscana in Italy and Jerez in Spain.
