Explained simply
French wine regions are areas with distinct climates, grape varieties and winemaking traditions. Burgundy, Bordeaux, Champagne, Alsace, the Loire and the Rhône are among France’s best-known regions, each associated with different styles of wine.
Wine from these areas can vary widely in taste and price, and some bottles carry a premium because of their reputation and production methods. Supermarkets often offer ranges at different price points, giving shoppers a way to compare styles and try wines from established regions.
