French wines

French wines are very popular in many countries. They are known for their variety and quality. The French wine industry is one of the most important in the world. French wines are made from grapes that have been grown in the country. The main types of grapes used in the manufacture of French wine are:

White grape varieties: Chardonnay, Sauvignon blanc, Muscadelle, Riesling

Red grape varieties: Gamay, Pinot noir, Cabernet franc

The wine industry has faced many challenges over the years, such as a lack of innovation and increased competition from other countries. To improve its competitiveness and increase exports, France needs to focus on its strengths, such as quality rather than quantity.

The French are also some of the most prolific wine consumers in the world, with an average per capita consumption of 40 liters per year.
