Riesling remains a tough sell on the retail shelf for several reasons, some sensible, some not. The wine trade generally sees Riesling as a superior grape making superior wine and many seem utterly flabbergasted that the general public tend to disagree with them. The problem here is that the public, thrillingly, know what they like and their palates are often different to those of the trade and the self-appointed circle of wine's gatekeepers – the ones who decide what is "good" wine and what is not. Despite all the preaching, the message is mostly ignored, which must be galling for the proselytizers.

The list also gives a hint as to how highly Riesling is rated by wine lovers and collectors – the Müller Scharzhofberger is not only the most expensive Riesling in the world it is the most expensive white wine in the world. In our list of the 50 most expensive wines in the world, Riesling pops up nine times, an impressive amount for an underappreciated grape variety.

And that's another mark against Riesling: nomenclature. Once consumers get over the Reece-ling/Rise-ling pronunciation hurdle, they are faced with a classification system based on (and almost entirely in) German. This echoes the problem Gewürztraminer frequently encounters – consumers are often loath to order it because they can't pronounce it. here

Generally, people associate Riesling with sweetness. It’s the first and the major misconception about Riesling! While many bottles have that sweetness you either love or hate, Riesling is also incredibly versatile. There are many types of Riesling, and not all of them are sweet – Dry Riesling, for instance.

Most of the other areas of the country are a bit warmer on average, which translates to a richer Riesling than those from Mosel. These are medium-bodied for the most part, and range in acidity and sweetness. [links]
