Whether you recently discovered or been drinking French wine in Singapore for years, it is a good idea to know a few facts about it. Knowing something about the beverage you are drinking gives you more than a bliss of satisfaction. It makes every glass taste better and more fun since you can share new things with others.
Here are just a few of them:
1. NUMEROUS FRENCH WINES ARE BLENDS.
Indeed, since most of them are made of more than one type of grapes, one example of blended French wines is Pierre Damoy. The producer of this French wine does now grow Chardonnay in their winery. They only purchased them from various regions in France.
2. CHAMPAGNE IS A REGION IN FRANCE.
Before it was known as a sparkling wine, Champagne was a name for a region in France. This place is the first producer of sparkling wine known today. But other counties in France also produce this drink the same way as in Champagne.
3. A FRENCH MONK INVENTED CHAMPAGNE.
This fact might seem absurd to believe, but a French monk indeed is the one who invented it. The truth is, the discovery of this French wine happened by accident. Back then, Dom Pierre Pérignon was experimenting with a new way of making wine.
4. CHARITY WINE AUCTION EVERY NOVEMBER.
If you are a wine lover, you should visit Hospices de Beaune. It is a place in France where many people auction wines for charity purposes.
5. BEST ENJOYED WITH FOOD.
Locals in Singapore may enjoy drinking French wine as it is. But traditionally it was enjoyed with food. That is why most five-star restaurants offer a bottle of French wine on their menu.
