Some critical remarks concerning French wine French wine usually is excellent, no doubt about that. But as always, things are not ideal. Here are some critical remarks: - French wine labels rarely mention the grape variety - the idea of a "Grand Vin" - if some wine producer has been fine in 1899, this wine is regarded as fine forever - the French rarely value wine for its own sake - only in combination with food - the French usually drink only French wine and no wine from any other country - so they have no comparison - the French usually cannot imagine that other countries also produce good wines What do you think about these points? Where can you agree, and where not?
