What was the French wine?

Great French wines were mold that destroyed more than 40% of French vineyards in 60 and 70. Blight had a serious impact on French winery and French culture, and gave some North American and European vineyards a chance to enter and fulfill the vacuum and became as a powerhouse winemakers themselves. The history of French wine illustrates unexpected vulnerability, which can be present even in very old crops. They did not understand why it could be, but settled for the cultivation of North American grapes or grafting European grape varieties on the North American rootstock, which seemed to solve the problem. Although European colonists did not realize it at that time, the problem was caused by aphids. Surprisingly, despite all operation between Europe and North America, Phylloxer has not reached Europe until the age of 20. Some scientists who have studied the Great French Wine suggested that aphids may not have been able to survive on the sailboats used PRO transit before the 19th century. 1863, Phylloxera was present in France and killing vineyards, but people slowly realized what was happening, and several potential causes of French wine were determined.

eventually the French realize that the problem was aphids and that these aphids colonized Europe, which prevented them to be eradicated. In response, Vineyards began to routine European grapes traditionally to the North American rootstock in France and other nations affected by mold. In France, this process was known as "reconstitution" and it was not a non -risk, because some people felt that it threatened the integrity of French vineyards and wines.

Today, the so-called pre-phylloxera years made before French wine, which will bring a high price when it comes to sale. Some wines fans say that French wine has essentially changed the nature of French wines and the creation of the winery and that the years before Phylloxer differs noticeably fromWines made on reconstructed vineyards. Given numerous factors that can affect the taste of wine, especially for hundreds of years of all years, it is difficult to determine whether these claims hold water.
