French wine is produced all throughout
France, in quantities between 50 and 60 million
hectolitres per year, or 7–8 billion bottles. France is one of the largest wine producers in the world. French wine traces its history to the 6th century BC, with many of France's regions dating their wine-making history to
Roman times. The wines produced range from expensive high-end wines sold internationally to more modest wines usually only seen within France as the
Margnat wines were during the post war period.
