		<description><![CDATA[法国红酒世界闻名，法国不但是全世界酿造最多种葡萄酒的国家，也出产无数闻名于世的高级葡萄酒，其口味种类极富变化，法国生产的红酒有六大生产地包括波尔多(Bordeaux)、布跟地(Burgundy)、香槟(Champagne)以及阿尔萨斯(Alsace)、罗瓦河河谷(Loire Valley) 、隆河谷地(Cotes du Phone)等其中又以气候温和土壤富含铁质的波尔多产地最具代表。
波尔多市外围又细分几个产区，全都分布于纪隆德河(Estuaire de la Gironde)流域，不但产量大且生产许多品质优良的红酒，被喻为“世界的葡萄酒宝库”，其中有最闻名的五大产区，这些产区约有九千多家酒庄，其中又以最有名的五大酒庄闻名于世。


法国葡萄酒总共可分为四级。若以金字塔来表示价格，由基部至顶部的顺序为：日常餐酒 (Vin de Table)、地区餐酒 (Vin de Pays )、优良地区餐酒(V.D.Q.S)、法定地区葡萄酒(A.O.C)。越接近金字塔顶部，价格越高。

日常餐酒 (Vin de Table)
用来自单一产区或数个产区的酒调配而成。法国酿酒历史悠久，调配技术高超，因而日常餐酒品质稳定，是法国大众餐桌上最常见的葡萄酒。此类酒最低酒精含量不得低于8.5% 或9%，最高则不超过15%。
Vin de Table日常餐酒，又分三级
1，Vin de Table Francais（高级，只混合法国产的葡萄）
2，Melange de Vins de differents Pays de Communaute Europeenne （中级，混合欧联诸国生产的葡萄酒）
3，Vin otenu en France a Partir deRaisins Reolten （低级，不限定葡萄品种，在法国国内酿造者）美味与否全凭生产者的巧手，无等级之分。

地区餐酒 (Vin de Pays )
由最好的日常餐酒升级而成。其产地必须与标签上所标示的特定产区一致，而且要使用被认可的葡萄品种。最后，还要通过专门的法国品酒委员会核准。
优良地区餐酒(V.D.Q.S)
等级位于地区餐酒和法定地区葡萄酒之间。这类葡萄酒的生产受到法国原产地名称管理委员会(Institut National des Appellations d`Origine)的严格控制。
法定地区葡萄酒(Appellation d`Origine Controlee 简称A.O.C)
最高等级的法国葡萄酒，其使用的葡萄品种、最低酒精含量、最高产量、培植方式、修剪以及酿酒方法等都受到最严格的监控。只有通过官方分析和化验的法定产区葡萄酒才可获得A.O.C证书。正是这种非常严格的规定才确保了A.O.C等级的葡萄酒始终如一的高贵品质。在法国，每一个大的产区里又分很多小的产区。一般来说，产区越小，葡萄酒的质量也会越高。
『勃根地第地区(Burgundy)』
本区约有一千八百处酒园，本区由南至北依序可再划分六个产区：
莎布里(Chablis)、夜坡(Cote de Nuits)、邦内坡(Cote de [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[什么杯子喝葡萄酒最合适？
我们喜欢大一点的葡萄酒杯，重量在20到22盎司比较适宜，因为那样手感很好，能来回旋转杯中倒入的少量葡萄酒。要找那种透明度高、杯壁薄、杯脚长、杯口微微收拢的杯子，价格不要太贵，免得打碎了心疼。这些年来，我们在很多商店都发现不少好杯子，比如Pier 1和Costco连锁超市等（但这两个地方最近都买不到我们最青睐的那些酒杯）。奥地利力多公司(Riedel)旗下的德国诗杯客乐 (Spiegelau)出品的勃艮蒂杯(Vino Grande Burgundy)是我们品酒的日常用具。Vino Grande Burgundy from Spiegelau, which is owned by Riedel, is our everyday glass.
&#160;

&#160;
目前性价比最高的葡萄酒产自哪里？
去年这个问题一跃进入前11大榜单，原因当然显而易见。如果用一个词来回答的话，那个词就是：智利。智利的赤霞珠 (Cabernet Sauvignon)和长相思(Sauvignon Blanc)白葡萄酒特别好。不过，阿根廷、新西兰和南非的葡萄酒都是不错的选择，尤其是阿根廷的马尔白克(Malbec)红葡萄酒，以及新西兰和南非的长相思(Sauvignon Blanc)白葡萄酒。
Look especially for its Cabernet Sauvignon and Sauvignon Blanc. But Argentina (especially Malbec), New Zealand (especially Sauvignon Blanc) and South Africa (also Sauvignon Blanc) are good bets, too.
&#160;
开派对（或任何大型聚会）时应该选什么葡萄酒？
如果选白葡萄酒，智利或新西兰的长相思最好。如果选红葡萄酒，我们以前推荐过薄若来列级（cru Beaujolais，薄若来的最高级法定产区），比如弗俐叶(Fleurie)红酒，如今也没有改变观点；但阿根廷的马尔白克现在非常热门，很多人都爱喝，因此我们改为推荐这个品种。如果你想找一款物美价廉的气泡酒，那么选择西班牙的卡瓦酒(Cava)应该没错。
For a white, Chilean or New [...]]]></description>
