One of the items that classify’s wines includes the wine region from where the wine grapes were grown. Wine grapes are grown between latitudes of thirty and fifty degrees South or North of the equator. France, Italy and Spain are the top three wine exporting countries. The majority of Canada's wine regions are in Ontario and British Columbia with similar latitudes as those famous wineries of Italy, France and Spain. In the United States, California is the largest wine producer with consistent yearly climates and vintages. France’s wine regions consist of several main growing areas. They include such regions as Alsace, Armagnac, Beaujolais, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Cahors, Calvados, Champagne, Cognac, Cotes du Rhone, Languedoc, Loire and Provence. As with France, each country has its own collection of key wine regions that are popular in their own right. French wine can vary from the finest vintage wines to the most common table wine. It all depends on the wine grape, picking time, fermenting procedures and a host of key elements. Comments (0)
