Aussie wines are actually quite good - their shiraz being among the best they have to offer. Cabs are also pretty good. If you want something a little different, try Chilean wines; many are based on Malbec and/or Tempranillo and are often blended in a Spanish Rioja or French Bordeaux style.

I know there are good Australian wines.
However, avoid “Roo’s Leap”; I think the ‘roo leaped to avoid drinking it.
But I couldn’t resist posting the Monty Python sketch.
