法國葡萄酒

歷史
葡萄在大約公元前1000年到前500年之間在法國南部出現，而後它開始在地中海盆地的大部分地區進行繁衍傳播。在葡萄酒出現的早期，這種飲料一直被視認是一種只有貴族才能享用的高尚飲品，也是一種用來敬拜酒神巴古斯（Bacchus）的祭神用品。
葡萄酒在全世界的基督教徒的心中還代表了耶穌基督的血液，這點促進了葡萄酒的平民化，使得平常民眾也擁有了飲用甘美的葡萄酒的權利。
夏朗德省的干邑，法國北部加萊海峽地區的卡維酒。波爾多地區:梅多克,寶媚好羅, 聖艾米里昂地區, 格拉夫和索特爾尼的波爾多，勃艮第產區的薄酒萊，香檳大區出產的香檳等都是法國非常有名的葡萄酒。

命名系統
1935年法國通過了大量關於葡萄酒質量控制的法律。這些法律建立了一個原產地控制命名系統，並由一專門的監督委員會（原產地命名國家學會）來管理。此後，法國便擁有了一個世界上最早的葡萄酒命名系統，以及最嚴格的關於葡萄酒製作和生產的法律。歐洲其他許多國家的類似系統都是模仿自法國的。法國法律將葡萄酒分成四個級別，其中包括：
法定產區葡萄酒
級別簡稱 AOC，是法國葡萄酒最高級別。AOC在法文意思為「原產地管制命名」。原產地地區的葡萄品種、種植數量、釀造過程、酒精含量等都要得到專家認證。只能用原產地種植的葡萄釀製，絕對不可和別地葡萄汁勾兌。AOC產量大約佔法國葡萄酒總產量的53.4%。酒瓶標籤標示為 Appellation+產區名+Contrôlée，例如Appellation Bordeaux Contrôlée。
優良地區餐酒
級別簡稱 VDQS，是普通地區餐酒向AOC級別過渡所必須經歷的級別。如果在VDQS時期酒質表現良好，則會升級為AOC。產量只佔法國葡萄酒總產量的0.9%。酒瓶標籤標示為 Appellation+產區名+Vin Délimité de Qualité Superieure。
地區餐酒
英文意思為Wine of Country，日常餐酒中最好的酒被升級為地區餐酒。地區餐酒的標籤上可以標明產區。可以用標明產區內的葡萄汁勾兌，但僅限於該產區內的葡萄。產量約佔法國葡萄酒總產量的33.9%。酒瓶標籤標示為 Vin de Pays + 產區名，例如Vin de Pays d'Oc。法國絕大部分的地區餐酒產自南部地中海沿岸。
日常餐酒
英文意思為Wine of the table，是最低檔的葡萄酒，作日常飲用。可以由不同地區的葡萄汁勾兌而成，如果葡萄汁限於法國各產區，可稱法國日常餐酒。不得用歐共體外國家的葡萄汁，產量約佔法國葡萄酒總產量的11.7%。酒瓶標籤標示為 Vin de Table，例如Vin de Table Français。
最新修正（2009年10月6日） 法國議會09年10月6日決議，隨著法國葡萄酒業共同組織（OCM）的改革以及不標註葡萄品種和年份的Vin de France這一新類別的創立，L'ANIVIT（法國國家日常餐酒和地方餐酒行業協會）更名為L'ANIVIN DEFRANCE（法國國家葡萄酒行業協會），Vin De Table（日常餐酒）以及L'ANIVIT中的「T」都將消失。法國日常餐酒VDT更名為VDF（Vin de France）。09年8月1號以後，歐盟所有VDP 更名為IGP。

The Greeks and later Romans made wine EARLIER than the French, but likely they mixed honey and other things in the wine.
Having said that, modern days French wines are unquestionably the best, although few might argue Italians do give the French a run for their money. I am extremely fond of Italian wines; they are much better value and of such diversity that they are kind of refreshing when one is tired of Bordeaux, Burgundy or Rhone.

Disagree. These 5 are the so-called first growths from Bordeaux; but they are not necessarily the top 5 in France, or for that matter, the top 5 in Bordeaux.
For me the top 5 in Bordeaux are: Petrus, Lafleur, Haut Brion, Latour, Cheval Blanc/Ausone/La Mission Haut Brion .
The top 5 in France as a whole: Rayas, Chave, DRC, Haut Brion, Roumier; Haut Brion does come first, as both the rouge and blanc are fantastic, and Chave second, for the same reasons.

或許訊息來源不一, 我在國內親戚告訴我國內炒家祗會對TOP5最感興趣, 因名氣大易買賣.

當中如中文"譯名好"的品牌更是首當其衝呢.

Speculators, all round the world, Chinese included, have far more interest in DRC wines and Petrus than the so called top 5, as these wines have much less bottles produced per year than the 5.
When the price of Lafite went up a few years back, I predicted the next one to escalate up would be Latour, cos I kinda thought the mainlanders could pronounce " Lai To", after "Lai Fei". This also accounts for the fact that Haut Brion never went up as much as others as they couldn' t pronounce the name. Coeval Blanc did no good either, as this literally mean "White Horse", and anything white infers funeral activities, bad luck etc.

其實你真的很清楚紅酒市場.  所以日後挑酒飲就是向性價比多於"名氣"啊
