The top 10 most common grape varieties produced in the world are presented below; some are more widely recognized than others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. 1 Cabernet Sauvignon<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A red grape variety that grows well in almost all climates except from northern regions. It has a full-bodied but firm taste; due to its high tannin content, winemakers often blend it with other varieties, such as Merlot and Syrah.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. 2 Merlot<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A red grape variety and the most planted grape variety in Bordeaux, France. It\u2019s widely recognized also in Italy, Romania, California, and Chile. It has a deep colour, a full body, and contains less tannin than Cabernet Sauvignon. That\u2019s why it is often blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, or both.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. 3 Airen<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A white grape variety mostly recognized in Spain. It tolerates hot and dry conditions and poor soil. Wine is often acidic and characterless; that\u2019s why it\u2019s mainly used in the brandy industry, production of high-alcohol local wines and lighter-bodied red wines when blended with Cencibel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. 4 Tempranillo<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A red grape variety of Spain. Since it prefers warmer climates, it is also widely recognized in California, Australia, South America, Turkey, and New Zealand. It has a full-bodied taste and a high acidity level.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. 5 Chardonnay<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A white grape variety that grows in almost every wine-production country in the world, because of its adaptability to a wide range of climates. It has a full-bodied taste and medium to high acidity. Typically, chardonnays are dry or half-dry wines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

No. 7 Garnacha Tinta<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A red wine variety that needs hot and dry conditions and ripens late. It has a low acidity and tannin and is usually used for blending with other red varieties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. 8 Sauvignon Blanc<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A white wine variety that grows in France (Bordeaux and Loire Valley), Italy, South Africa and California. It is high in acidity with pronounced aromas and flavours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. 9 Trebbiano Toscano<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A white wine variety originated from Italy, but it\u2019s also grown in France, Portugal, Spain, South America, and Australia. Wine is fresh and fruity with high acidity and is usually used for blending with other wines and for brandy production.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No. 10 Pinot Noir<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
A red wine variety, grown in France, California, New Zealand, Australia and Chile. It has medium to high acidity, medium to low tannin, and fruity or earthy flavours. It\u2019s not common to blend it with any other grapes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
