French wine is a popular choice in Singapore for many reasons. For starters, the taste of French wine is unlike any other drink you will have in a lifetime. Nothing can match the distinct flavour of French wine!
Here are a few fun facts about French wine!
1. ⅓ OF ALL FRENCH WINES PRODUCED IS EXPORTED
Did you know that ⅓ of all French wines costs more than 10 billion euros a year? In fact, Asia is one of the top countries with a high demand for French wine, especially Singapore!
2. FRANCE DIDN’T INVENT WINE
No, the French did not invent wine, similar to how the Scottish did not discover whiskey. However, French wine itself is an original variation of wine that originated in France, and only French distilleries know how to create the distinct taste of French wine.
3. THE FRENCH HID WINE DURING WORLD WAR II
When Germany invaded France in the Second World War, the French protected their French wine by preserving them in secret cellars. It was also an act of resistance since French wine is a part of France’s national identity, so the French kept their precious wines away from Nazi Germany.
4. ADULTS FIND IT HARD TO READ FRENCH WINE LABELS
Funnily enough, around 72% of adults in France find it hard to read French wine labels.
5. MONKS PAVED THE WAY FOR THE FUTURE OF FRENCH WINE
You can thank the Monastic orders, specifically the Cistercians and Benedictines, for improving the method of making wine. Thanks to them, the French wine we all know and love is here to stay forever.
