One major difference might be that many Old World producers let the grapes' natural yeast do the fermentation work, while many New World producers use cultivated yeasts. Type of yeast used makes quite a difference on the results, even among the very same crop of grapes.

WOW, not sure what you mean about zinfandel vineyards surviving Prohibition better; are you referring to zinfandel being the grape of choice for sacremental wine?
