The French Bordeaux wine region is the second largest wine growing area in the world. There is more vineyard land planted in Bordeaux than in all of Germany and ten times the amount planted in New Zealand.
There is evidence of vine-growing in Burgundy since the second century AD, (although some commentators have speculated that the Celts may have been growing vines in the region before the Romans conquered Gaul in 51 BC).
A Bordeaux wine is any wine produced in the Bordeaux wine region of France. Average Bordeaux vintages produce over 700 million bottles wine each year.
The vast majority of Bordeaux wine is red, with red Bordeaux wine production out numbering white Bordeaux wine production six to one. Red Bordeaux wine, which is traditionally known as Claret in the United Kingdom, is generally made from a blend of grapes.
