French wines

France is famous for its wines, and no wonder, since it has more than 20,000 hectares under vine and produces the largest quantity of wine in the world. France has been producing wine since at least 500 BC when the Gauls cultivated vines for local consumption. There are many different types of French wines available, but we'll be focusing on reds today.

Burgundy, Loire, and Rhone are the 3 most famous regions for wines in France.

Burgundy, Loire, and Rhone are the three most famous regions for wines in France. You can't go wrong with them if you want to explore French wines.

There's a whole world of wine tourism that's developed around these regions: People travel from all over to visit vineyards, visit wineries and even stay at bed-and-breakfast inns or hotels built in old chateaus (mansions). We're going to focus on Burgundy today because it's my personal favorite region based on years of experience tasting different wines from there as well as eating some amazing food alongside them!
