Absinthe is a unique liquor that became incredibly popular during France's Belle Époque era. According to popular folklore, a French doctor, Pierre Ordinaire, first developed absinthe in the late 18th century while he lived in Switzerland.
Originally, absinthe was distilled with wormwood and anise. By combining additional strong herbal flavors such as Florence fennel, star anise, coriander, nutmeg and juniper, as well as others, absinthe became one of the most unique liquors in history.
Whether you are a wine connoisseur or a novice experimenting in the world of wine tasting, there is much to learn about the appellation and vinification of French wines.
French wines are classified by the region in which they are grown, rather than by the predominant grape featured in the wine, as is American custom. Champagne, Bordeaux, Burgundy, Loire Valley, and Rhone are the most popular wine-producing regions in France.
