A visual journey to the French wine industry photographed by Solvi dos Santos. In particular, it features all the wine-producing regions of France, from the Taittinger champagne cellars housed in 4th-century Roman chalk caves in Reims, to Château de Pennautier, the "Versailles of Languedoc". Florence Brutton, a wine expert, explains the idea of terroir (the idiosyncratic growing conditions that define and distinguish each area of cultivation) and the importance of local wine-related customs.
