Why can France produce so many delicious red wines?

First of all, French wine is famous for its long and unique wine-making history. The origin of French wine can even be traced back to the 6th century BC. Phoenicians and Celts first introduced grape planting and brewing to Marseille, now in the south of France, and then until BC 1 century, with the strong promotion of the Romans, grape planting flourished in the Mediterranean coast of France, and finally became the fashion and fashion of the society at that time.

Secondly, French wine is favored because of its unique natural conditions. The climate and soil environment in many parts of France, such as Bordeaux, have cultivated almost all the famous grape varieties in the world, and even some unknown varieties have shined in this land.

There are six factors that determine the quality of wine: grape variety, climate, soil, humidity, vineyard management and brewing technology. The same grape, if planted on the hillside, will be different from the foot of the mountain. For example, when the altitude rises, the temperature will drop and the picking time will be delayed. In addition, sunshine time is also very important. Too little is sour, too much is sweet, and the sunshine hours between grape flowering and grape picking stipulated by the French government are 1300 hours. Similarly, different soils have different qualities: the poorer the land, the better the wine. If the land is fertile, the sugar content of grapes is too high. Humidity is also important: only where you can see the river can you make good wine …

In fact, the most important thing is that it has a long history and is brewed by traditional techniques.

The climate in France is also suitable for the growth of grapes, including good grapes and good wine.

The world's top brewing technology and unique high-quality materials make France the best wine and grape producer in the world, so it enjoys a worldwide reputation!

France, Britain, Portugal, Spain and Italy are the producing areas of old-time wines. The taste is very simple, with a natural grape flavor.

China, the United States, Australia and Brazil belong to the new era, and the wine producing areas are all machine-produced, which is sweet and refreshing.

An unparalleled experience

French wine merchants are usually a family that has been brewing quality wines for centuries. If your producing area has a history of 2,000 years and your family has been brewing wine in this industry for more than three centuries, you will definitely know how to brew high-quality wine and what grapes are most suitable for growing on a piece of land. Compared with the wine merchants in the New World, this is a great advantage enjoyed by the French. The former has only 10 years, 20 years and less than 30 years of industry experience. A French wine merchant once commented, "Only after three generations can you really understand your grapes."

A cool climate

The alcohol content is lower, which is more suitable for food matching, thanks to the cooler climate in French wine producing areas. Contrary to warm New World wineries that produce high-alcohol wines, French red wines usually have a more moderate alcohol content, ranging from 65,438+02% to 65,438+03% or lower. Such a low alcohol content makes them easier to match with food; They don't suppress the taste of food like the strong California Cabernet Sauvignon.

country of origin

Wine embodies the characteristics of origin. The French call it water and soil, which means that wine can reflect the characteristics of soil, climate and grape growing areas. French wine merchants always strive to create unique wines that are only produced in this region and cannot be copied elsewhere.

Balance and exquisiteness

If we do something for a long time, human nature will always urge us to turn it into an art form. The best wine merchants in France can brew smooth and well-balanced wines; All the ingredients in wine blend harmoniously. Over time, the more people drink, the stronger their ability to feel balanced and delicious. This is what the French are good at.
