France

In 1935 All the French wine regions agreed to a governance system that would effectively control the quality of all wines produced in all French Regions. This has resulted in France being able to continue to hold a premium position in the wine industry globally. By protecting regions and appellations the values of these wines have risen dramatically and many take a place in the finest cellars through out the world. Whenever you buy a wine from France you can rest assured that there is a rigorous quality control system behind the region sourcing and winemaking principles.
