    Some critical remarks concerning French wine

    French wine usually is excellent, no doubt about that.
    But as always, things are not ideal.

    Here are some critical remarks:

    - French wine labels rarely mention the grape variety
    - the idea of a "Grand Vin" - if some wine producer has been fine in 1899, this wine is regarded as fine forever
    - the French rarely value wine for its own sake - only in combination with food
    - the French usually drink only French wine and no wine from any other country - so they have no comparison
    - the French usually cannot imagine that other countries also produce good wines

    What do you think about these points?
    Where can you agree, and where not?
