After centuries of growing grapes in different parts of Europe, varieties began to form that have become some of the best known wine types today. Riesling, for instance, was a white grape variety that grew well in the Rhine Valley, which has developed their since the 15th century. Burgundy in France became well known for variety of wines, including developing Pino Gris, Pinot noir, and chablis and others that had begun to develop already by the Roman period. Chenin blanc was another white grape variety developed in Anjou.
In the New World, Vitis (or grape family) vines did grow, but they do not seemed to have been utilized from making wine. Although various alcoholic drinks were known to native populations in the New World, it was the Spanish that brough wine types from Europe to the New World.
