South Africa
South Africa produces wine for over 350 years with a tradition as long as many wine-producing regions in Europe. Wines here, especially the sweet wine "Vin de Constance", have been looked for and drank during past centuries. With the disappearance of the Apartheid, starting 1994, South Africa has been put in front of some big challenges in order to become competitive. Producers started working extensively in building and strengthening the country's image as a producer of quality wine.
Elgin Valley, a large, lush area of land, circled by mountains, is one of the more intensively farmed districts of South Africa and produces 60% of the national apple crop. Consequently, it is now known in South Africa as the place “where the apples come from”. However, a recent shift in economic focus has led to Elgin also becoming one of South Africa's most notable and successful wine regions, with the coolest climate of any region in the country. Elgin wines and tourism have become significant parts of the valley's economy.
