French Wines

Map of Wines of  France

 The wines of France

      France, along with Italy, and to a less extent Spain, is amoung the biggest wine producing countries in the world. The production of French Wines amounts to around 47 millions hectolitres. The specificity of this wine is the great number of ‘appelations and denominations, and this does not make it easy to understand for any non initiated wine drinker. However, this diversity is part of the charm and allows all tastes to be satisified, often with several different grape types mixed to make some wines. This possibility to marry the different qualities of the grape types, gives French wine its particularity, many countries of which are envious.
