Wine History: France




Phew. That was brutal. Picking a country with such a storied past and such a plethora of information on wine was maybe not a great second choice — but oh well! It’s done. There is so much to go through that it becomes difficult to decide what to keep and what to leave out.

My brief history of the French wine regions can at times be too brief, but it is hopefully digestible in its length. I cover each of the major regions.

Alsace
Bordeaux
Bourgogne
Champagne
Corse
