... French wines make up 34% of the world's wine. The French take great pride in their vineyards and in their wine, and areas like this vineyard are well looked after as it is such a successful business.
Provence is the area in the south of France that borders Italy; it has gorgeous weather for most of the year, and this is partly why grapes for wine grow so well in this region. As the sun that is setting on another day rises in the sky tomorrow, it will be high and hot, and the grapes for the next season of wine will grow plump, juicy, and delicious.
