(1) France: wine kingdom with many fine wines.
Wine is produced in almost all regions of France, mainly distilled wine and sparkling wine represented by "champagne". Colors are red, white and rose red; Taste from sweet to not sweet; In terms of price, from table wine as a substitute tea to a bottle of top-class wine of thousands of dollars, the variety and changes are extremely rich. Because it has produced countless world-famous high-grade wines, it is recognized as the "wine kingdom".
French wines can be divided into four categories according to their quality. In terms of production ratio, the fourth-class ordinary restaurant wine accounts for about 50% of French wine; Third-class regional wine accounts for about 9%; Second-class fine wine accounts for about 3%; About 25% of the wine tasting is recognized by the origin (the remaining 13% is brandy).
Among the wine producing areas in France, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, Alsace, Loire Valley and Telephone Valley are the most famous. Moreover, the wines produced in each producing area also have local characteristics.
1, Bordeaux, the world wine treasure house
Bordeaux produces more than one third of AOC wines (controlled wines with names of origin). Because it produces many excellent wines, it is called "the world wine treasure house". The local red wine is not only famous but also rich, and it also produces white wine. Bordeaux is famous for its rich wine varieties. Bordeaux red wine is called red wine in Britain because of its bright red color. Generally suitable for drinking after maturity. Liquor quality is characterized by rich taste and mild flavor.
In Bordeaux, the most famous wine producing areas are Medoc, Graves, Sauterne, Saint Emilion and Pomeroy.
● Medoc area
Medoc is the representative producing area of Bordeaux red wine, producing the most advanced wine in the world. The most famous villages in this area are Baoyake Village and Margo Village, and some expensive wines even cost thousands of yuan a bottle. There are about 70 villages in Medoc. In addition to the above two villages, I hope wine lovers will remember St. Julian's Village and St. Stephen's Village. In addition, Murdoch owns 6 1 super wineries, among which ch. Lafite Rothschild, China. Ch. Margo Latour, Ch. Mouton, RothsChild and ch.

San Emilion and Pomejo.
Merlot grapes are mainly used in these two regions which are famous for red wine, and the flavor is between Boer wine and Burgundy wine.
2. Burgundy is on a par with Bordeaux.
The reputation of Burgundy is comparable to that of Bordeaux. Red wine production here accounts for three-quarters of all wines, half of which are "thin wine" red wine. The aroma is fragrant and the taste is mild, while "Thin Wine Lai" is made from Camry grapes. Although the output of liquor only accounts for a quarter, the dry liquor brewed from Chardonnay grapes is world-famous.
According to a century-old saying in Burgundy, the gentle slope facing the sun produces the best wine, so the best producing areas in Burgundy are named after a certain slope. There are also many such long-term slopes in the hilly areas of Burgundy.
The representative producing areas of Burgundy wine are Chablis wine, Nuit wine, Bourne hillside wine, Jean-Marcoun wine and beaujolais wine. Yepo and Bourne Hillside are also called "Cote d`Or", because when grapes are ripe, they are as beautiful as gold at first sight.
● Chabury area
This area only produces white wine, which is a world-famous dry white wine producing area.
● Slope area at night
This place is famous for its red wine. Romani Kandi, which is known as the dream wine, and Chambertin, which Napoleon loved and even carried with him during his expedition to Russia, are two rare wines in this area.
● Bournemouth area
Although about 80% is red wine, it also produces white wine. Montrachet is the most famous wine here and is rated as the best unsweetened wine in the world.
● Thin wine depends on the area.
"Thin wine Lessing wine" is a kind of red wine that wine lovers are very familiar with. It tastes slightly sour and has a youthful fruity aroma. It is best to drink it within two to three months after it is made.
:: Jean-Marcoun region.
The output of liquor in this area far exceeds that of red wine, among which "Pouilly Fuisse" is the most popular with its mellow smell and rich taste.
3. Champagne The birthplace of champagne
Champagne, located in the northeast of Paris, is the northernmost wine producing area in France and is also known as the "Champagne" producing area. Champagne originally produced only sparkling wine, and it was not until the17th century that sparkling wine was brewed. Now more than 90% of champagne is produced by ourselves.
4. Charming Loire Valley wine producing area.
The Loire River flows into the Atlantic Ocean, and its valleys are all over royal palaces, aristocratic villas and famous medieval cities. Everything extends from east to west, and when you look around, it is a wine producing area.
The Loire Valley produces red, white, rose, sparkling wine and other wines, each of which is easy to import. Most of the wines produced here should be drunk when they are still young.
5. Gulong real estate area is long and narrow from north to south.
The long river basin from Lyon to avignon belongs to the long river valley. Because the north and south are long and narrow, it produces red wine, white wine, rose wine, sparkling wine and other wines, just like the Loire Valley. Taste from sweet to not sweet, rich in variety. Especially the red wine and rose wine produced in the south are the best in wine.
6. The origin of Alsace dry liquor
Alsace, where the Rhine River flows, is adjacent to Germany and used to be German territory. Perhaps this is why Alsace uses grape varieties similar to those in Germany. Liquor is mainly produced in this area, but its sweetness is lower than that of German liquor. The grapes used are: Tenet Tenet, sour, round and firm, Xiuwanna, Yilin, fresh fruit flavor.
(2) German wine-a wine suitable for everyone to drink.
German wine production is about one-tenth that of France, accounting for about 3% of the world's production. About 85% of German wine is white wine, and the remaining 15% is rose wine, red wine and sparkling wine. German liquor is fruity, sweet and refreshing, and its alcohol content is low, which makes people irresistible. Especially suitable for people who can't drink, and beginners.
1, Mo Ze: excellent wine quality of Saluvius.
The intersection of Moze River and its tributaries, Sal River and Ruwei River, is the producing area of Mo Ze wine. Almost all of them are white wine here, and most of the grapes used are coconut slim grapes. Elegant taste exudes charming fruit fragrance and contains refreshing sour taste. The green wine bottle shaped like a ball is also one of its characteristics.
2. Rhine: the most famous place of origin
The Rhine refers to rheingau on the north side of the Rhine, rheinhessen on the other side of the Rhine, and Rhine-Laves on the south downstream. The wines produced in these places are all called Rhine wines. A bottle of wine is green and a bottle of Rhine wine is brown. Rhine wine tastes stronger than Morso wine.
Frank: Dry wine in a sheepskin bag.
This is the oldest wine producing area in Germany, and the wine produced by Frank is generally called "Chattanooine". Although the wine production here is not much, it is famous for producing the least sweet wine in Germany. The wine brewed from Xiuwanna grapes has a fresh taste and is full of male charm. In addition, Frank wine is packed in a special sheepskin bag bottle. Before the glass appeared, it was said to be in a sheepskin bag pot used by shepherds to hold wine.
(3) Italian wine-the country with the highest output and export volume.
Italy has been a wine producing area since ancient times. With the expansion of the Roman Empire's political power, Italian wine has also spread to the whole of Europe, so Italy has made great contributions to European wine. In terms of output, Italy and France compete for the first place in the world every year; In terms of export volume, Italy still ranks first in the world. The wines exported from France are usually mainly AOC and top wines; However, the common people drink ordinary table wine or wine produced in EU countries.
The long and narrow terrain between the north and the south of Italy leads to great climate difference. There are many kinds of wines produced in this country with different flavors.
1, Piedmont: the treasure house of Italian wine
Piedmont means "at the foot of a mountain" in Italian. It is located at the foot of the Alps, close to France, and the climate is suitable for both growing grapes and brewing wine. Not only do you brew a lot of DOC wine (Italian wine management method), but you also produce dog wine (G stands for "guarantee" that you are a top wine). Therefore, it is regarded as the origin of Italian high-end wines.
2. Vinette: Italy's famous liquor producing area.
Venice, the world-famous "water capital", is located in Vanne State. This area is the hometown of Suavi, Italy's most famous liquor.
3. Tuscany: the origin of this fine wine.
Tuscany is centered on Florence, the most beautiful city in the world. This is the largest wine producing area in Italy. Candy wine wrapped in straw is also a familiar red wine, which is characterized by sour taste and fresh taste. At one time, Italian wine was almost equivalent to Kandy wine.
(d) Spanish wines-the sources of production are extensive and the products are rich and diverse.
Although few Asians know that Spain is a wine producer, its wine production is second only to Italy and France. Wine is produced almost everywhere in Spain, but rioja, Andalusia and Catalonia are the most famous. Wine from the local streets of La Mancha near the capital Madrid accounts for almost half of Spain's total production.
Among Spanish wines, perhaps we are more familiar with sparkling wine, sherry and sangria sparkling wine than sparkling wine. Kava, which makes champagne, is also well known. Spain has a lot of red wine, and most of their fine wines are red wine. Especially the red wine produced in rioja is not inferior to French wine, but the price is quite reasonable, even cheaper than Italian wine.
(5) Portuguese wines-world famous wines are dazzling.
Portugal produces many wines that we are very familiar with. Among them, "Peach Red Rose" is a world-class famous product. In addition, it also includes port wine, madeira wine and madeira wine, which are often used in cooking.
Portugal and Spain can be said to be equally famous wine countries, but Portugal's producing areas are mainly concentrated in the north of Central China. The most famous producing areas are Daou and Venhoubad. In Daou, it mainly produces red wine. Because sugar has been completely fermented into alcohol, it is not sweet and has strong stamina, which is suitable for men to drink. Contrary to the situation in Daou, Wineholde produces wines that are light and ready to drink in many years. The biggest feature of the wine here is freshness. Contains a small amount of carbonic acid, which gives people a cool feeling when drinking.
(6) Hungarian wine-"Tocai", one of the three famous wines in the world.
Hungarian wine-making has a long history, among which Tokayi and Ch.d`Yquem, which are produced in the local Xie Su region of Bordeaux, France, and Trocken Beeren-Auslese, which are German, are called the three largest sweet wines in the world. Although Tokayi also produces dry white and dry red, the most famous wine here is "Tokayias", which is made of expensive rotten grapes and tastes very sweet. "Agribukawi" with black cow label is also a good wine.
(7) Bulgarian wine-the export volume accounts for 70% of the output.
Like Hungary, Bulgaria has a long history of winemaking. But later, under the rule of Turkey, the wine industry declined a lot. Turkey believes in Islam, alcohol is taboo, and wine making is naturally prohibited. After World War II, Bulgaria began to make wine and engage in wine production, with the goal of improving the country's economic capacity.
Grapes grown in this country are concentrated in state-owned brewing centers, and wine is brewed by modern mechanical processing. Therefore, the produced wine tastes the same and has no characteristics, so it can't be a top wine.
Wine is produced all over Bulgaria, with the Balkan Mountains as the boundary and the Black Coast to the east of the mountains as the boundary, producing excellent white wine; On the north and south sides of the mountain, red wine is abundant.
(8) American wine-a new wine country.
The earliest record of brewing wine in the United States began in the middle of16th century, but commercial wine production began in Pennsylvania after18th century. 1830, California also joined the ranks of brewing wine. In the past thirty years, the United States has been catching up in science and technology and has become a producer of good wine.
There are many kinds of wines in America, from table wine to high-grade wine comparable to European countries. Therefore, some people say that in the near future, American wines will keep pace with French wines.
(9) Australian wine-it is called two emerging wine countries together with the United States.
Australia's climate and soil conditions are very suitable for growing grapes. Although the history of wine-making in Australia is not long, it is regarded as a new wine-producing area together with the United States, and has gradually attracted the attention of the world.
Because it is located in the southern hemisphere, you can drink "new wine" around May, which can be said to be the earliest new wine listed in the world. The earliest Australian immigrants came here in 1788. Since then, Australia has started to brew wine. During the British colonial period, Shirley and Porter were the main producers. After 1950, distilled liquor is dominant.
The grape varieties used in Australia are all transplanted from Europe. I liked sweet wine at first, and recently I have produced a lot of dry wine. The most representative wine producing areas are South Australia, New South Wales and Victoria.
