What are the wine cultures in France?

1, French wine culture grows and develops with French history and civilization. Wine culture has penetrated into all levels of French religion, politics, culture, art and life, and is closely related to people's lives. As a world political, economic and cultural power, French wine culture also affects people's lifestyles and cultural interests around the world. Understanding French wine culture will contribute to our overall understanding of French culture. The oldest super winery in France is Le Wang Ruting winery.

French wine has a long history, which can be traced back to around 600 BC. The Greeks came to Marseille, France, bringing with them vines and grape cultivation techniques. In 5 1 year BC, Caesar conquered Gaul, where formal grape cultivation began. With the continuous expansion of grape growing areas to the north, Bordeaux and Burgundy began to brew wine for the wine market in short supply in the 3rd century. In the 6th century, with the rise of the church, the demand for wine increased sharply, and the rich people's demand for high-quality wine accelerated the development of French wine industry. In the Middle Ages, wine had developed into the main export commodity of France.

3. From 65438 to 0855, Charles Louis Napolé on Bonaparte was in power. King III wanted to take the opportunity of Expo 2010 1889 in Paris, France, to promote Bordeaux wines to the whole world, and wanted all the wines from all over the country to participate in the exhibition. Therefore, he asked the Bordeaux Wine Chamber to prepare an exhibition to introduce Bordeaux wines and classify Bordeaux wineries. This is tantamount to stirring up a hornet's nest, because those wineries are self-righteous, but there can only be one winner. Therefore, the Bordeaux Chamber of Commerce shifted the responsibility to SyndicatofCourtiers, an official organization of wine wholesalers, and asked them to divide all wineries into five grades, and every wine producer in Gironde District was included in one grade. Two weeks later, SyndicatofCourtiers came up with their classification, including 58 wineries, 1 super, 4 first-class, 12 second-class, 14 third-class,14 fourth-class and 17 fifth-class. The first-class winery is Dykem, and the four first-class wineries are Lafite-Rothschild, Latour, Margaux and Upper Bourion.

Although the times have changed, many high-end famous wineries have also undergone great changes. Some manor owners have changed several times, and some manor environmental styles have changed. The brewing technology of wine has also been greatly improved, but this principle of wine classification is still used by people and spread to France and even the world. The ancient French wine industry association is also worth mentioning for Bordeaux. This association is composed of top celebrities and professional wine experts. They hold a grand ceremony every year to commemorate the solar terms related to alcohol.
