French wines and champagnes

The French are internationally renowned as the founding fathers of champagne and famed for making some of the world's finest wine. Champagne is not champagne if it does not come from the French region of Champagne, although similar products exist such as the Italian ‘champagne’ (Prosecco) which is simply a sparkling wine. This goes a long way to explain the prestige of the drink, best served chilled, it is its relative rarity that marks it out as one of the smartest drinks available. French wine is similarly famous and the most popular types of grape are grown in France meaning they are some of the most important worldwide wine produces including from a Merlot, a Bordeaux, a Syrah, a Chardonnay or a Cabernet Sauvignon and other popular choices.
