Answer 2

Answer 3

- premier grand cru classé

- grand cru classé

- grand cru

are the classification ranks (for red wines only). The ranking dates back to the 19th century for a number of wines and is sometimes controversed nowadays.

The AOC label system (appellation d'origine contrôlée), also plays a role to enforce wine quality, by setting rules about grapes cultivation, quantity, areas of production, etc...

Answer 4

There are lots of French wines and French people like to serve wines that go with the particular food they eat (in formal meals). The best known areas are the Bordeaux and the Bourgogne (mostly red wines). The southern region of Provence is well-known for its rosé. Alsatian white wines are also much appreciated. Champagne is a world-famous sparkling, dry, white wine. Some small producing areas like Sancerre (red or white) maintain good quality standards and are selling most of their production outside France.
