Drinks
	The greatest Apéritif you can serve is a glass of Champagne ; but you have many other options... We usually offer a choice of classic alcohols, like whisky, or fortified wines, like Muscadet, Martini or Porto. Also, one of our most popular national apéritif is Kir; it is made of dry white wine, with blackcurrant liquor. Pastis is also very popular.
Wine
	A good bottle of wine is an indispensable part of a good meal. France has great wine regions: Champagne, Bourgogne, Alsace, Val de Loire, Bordeaux, Côtes du Rhône, Languedoc-Roussillon, and Provence. Each of the wine-producing regions has its own identity, based on grape varieties, climate and local culture. Appellation contrôlée laws guarantee a wine's origins and style.
Classification of wines: French law divides the country's wines into four classes, in ascending order of quality: - Vin de Table, - Vin de Pays, - Vin Délimité de Qualité Supérieure (VDQS) - Appelation d'Origine Contrôlée (AOC).  Cru Classé : a top-level quality classification used by only a few appellations, including Grave, Médoc, Saint-Emilion, Sauterne, Côte de Provence. How to read a wine label : Even the simplest label will provide a key to the wine's flavour and quality. It will bear the name of the wine and its producer, its vintage if there is one, and whether it comes from a strictly defined area (appellation contrôlée or VDQS) or is a more general vin de pays or vin de table. It may also have a regional grading, as with the crus classés in Bordeaux. Basic overall rules to chose your wine Entrée (starter) : generally accompanied with a dry white wine or Rosé.  Main course : - red wine for red meat ; light red wine for white meats, - dry white wine for fish or seafood.
