History, tradition and origin
Wine has been made for at least eight thousand years, beginning in the Caucasus and spreading with the Greeks and Romans. Medieval monasteries mapped the best vineyards of France. Sparkling wine made by a second fermentation in the bottle was perfected in northeastern France in the 1700s and became the drink of toasts, weddings and new year.
Food economy and industry
Italy, France and Spain produce about half of the world's wine. A vintage is the year the grapes were picked, and weather makes some years far better than others; 2008 is regarded as an outstanding year for sparkling wine in northern France. Rare bottles are traded at auction and held as investments, with storage history affecting the price.
