| With origins in the 6th century BC, France is one of the oldest wine-producing regions of Europe. During the Middle Ages, monks maintained vineyards and, more important, wine making knowledge and skills during that often turbulent period. During this time the best vineyards were owned by the monasteries and their wine was considered to be superior. Despite some exports from Bordeaux, until about 1850 most wine in France was consumed locally. People in Paris drank wine from the local vineyards, people in Bordeaux drank Bordeaux, those in Burgundy drank Burgundy, and so on throughout the country. The spread of railroads and the improvement of roads reduced the cost of transportation and dramatically increased exports. |
