Since Roman times, wine has been made in France. In the North (e.g. Alsace), wines are usually made from a single variety of grape (e.g. Pinot Noir), whereas further south (e.g. Provence), they are typically blends (e.g. Cabernet Sauvignon + Merlot). With 450 different appellations, there are literally tens of thousands of small wine-producing domaines; however, only 15% of all the appellations enjoy the benefit of an AOC designation.
