Wine enthusiasts know that some of the best wines on Earth come from France. The wine regions of France produce over 8 billion bottles of quality wine each year! The grapes used to produce French wines are grown all over France, but especially in the warmer southern regions, which enjoy a Mediterranean climate conducive to growing grapes.

Types of Grapes - Several varieties of wine grapes are grown in France. Many of these varieties are found all over the world, but were originally cultivated in France. These types of grapes include merlot, carignan, cabernet sauvignon, and pinot noir. There are also several types of grapes that are more obscure and found only in certain regions of France.

Red Wine Regions - You can see vineyards almost anywhere in France, but certain regions are completely devoted to the production of red wine. These well-known wine regions include Alsace, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, and the Loire Valley.

Wine-making in France - Wine makers are held in high esteem in France. The production of wine is considered an art, and success requires a fair amount of skill, knowledge and experience. Not only do the grapes need to be grown in the proper environment, they must go through a long process to be turned into wine.
