These days, my wines of choice are Australian, especially the McGuigan range. I'm just imbibing in one of their Sauvignons as I type. I find their Chardonnay and Shiraz wines very palatable too.
I'm with you there on German wines. Do you remember Liebfraumilch? As a child it was the wine that people would bring to a dinner party. I don't think they even sell it these days.
I'm not a big fan of the mass produced label ranges. They seem the most "chemically". They are drinkable but you don't get the glowing satisfaction of those non commercial vineyards.
