Counting up to 800,000 vineyards in France for wine production alone, it is no surprise that fine wine from France comes from different regions from all over the country.
With that, over 50 to 60 million hectoliters of the beverage are produced in the average year - that is, seven to eight million bottles.
This is why France is second to Spain with having the largest area covered for vineyards alone, and at the same time close to Italy as the largest wine producer all over the world.
Perhaps the quality and reputation of wine in France is brought about by the local population's large and passionate consumerism of their own products.
Although economic trends have shown that the rate of local consumption has dropped for a long as forty years, the richness of their wine resources have helped them maintain the viability of one of their most valuable economic assets.
This is because France's reputation as the most influential country in the world's wine industry is also brought about by it being one of the countries that produce the most variety of popular wine grapes.
As a result to the abundance of the variety of the fruit found right at their locality, the capacity of their local wine industry to produce various labels of wine has also flourished and stretched out to being well known all over the world.
Among the well known products of fine wine from France include brands like Champagne, Burgundy, Bordeaux and more, each coming from their respective and equally notable wine making regions of the country.
Fine wine from France also has a special formula made by the French - a mix of well grown grapes and their equally influential French gastronomy (study of food and its local culture).
This is how the French take well care of the products they import, integrating these principles to their labeling practices.
These traditional practices are based on the concepts of Terrior and the Appellation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC) system.
Terrior is a wine production technique that takes into consideration the varying factors that are included in the process such as the quality of the soil and the environment where the grapes are grown.
These are often included in labels, presenting to consumers that these products are treated with quality assuring practices such as making the wine where it was grown (to ensure freshness).
This is then coupled with the Appellation system for fine wine from France, where several state regulations on wine making have been passed to maintain the level of quality of their products - especially those that are exported to other countries.
