France has the world’s second-largest total vineyard area. The wines
produced today range from expensive high-end wines sold internationally
such from Burgundy and Bordeaux, to more modest wines usually only seen
within France. France is the source of many grape varieties (such as
Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, Sauvignon Blanc and Syrah )
that are now planted throughout the world, as well as several
wine-making practices and styles of wine that are copied and imitated in
other producing countries. French wine industry as a whole has been
influenced by a decline in domestic consumption as well as growing
competition from both the New World and other European countries.
