Every one of the country's wine regions produces a unique selection of wines, often made with grapes used nowhere else for winemaking. Christopher Fielden describes France's most important wine-producing areas, gives the background to the wines, and provides a guide to visiting the best producers. Hundreds of wineries that welcome visitors are listed, together with their addresses, telephone numbers, websites and opening times. Christopher Fielden is a cheerful and knowledgeable guide. The French wine regions and their vineyards are well drawn. There are clear guidelines for visiting wineries and tasting their wines. Is there a charge for tasting? Are you expected to spit? (Yes in Burgundy; no in Alsace.) This book provides answers to these and many other questions.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChristopher Fielden is the author of numerous books on wine, including \u003ci\u003eServing Wine; Burgundy\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eVines and Wines\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eHarvey's Pocket Book of Wine\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Sainsbury's Book of Wine\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eAlsace Wines\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eWine\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eWhite Burgundy\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eIs This the Wine You Ordered Sir?\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eA Dynasty in Drink\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eExploring Wines and Spirits\u003c\/i\u003e; \u003ci\u003eThe Wines of Argentina, Chile and Latin America\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Interlink Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50902439166226,"sku":"9781623716691","price":15.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_541cfb03-c38f-4c99-bf3b-51e614a97e09.jpg?v=1738455538","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/a-travellers-wine-guide-to-france-9781623716691","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
