Despite all marketing stratagems, wine is still the product of agriculture. A good wine is the result of precise agricultural practice in an attempt to produce perfectly ripe grapes. In the 2000 years of winemaking experience in France, peasants and winemakers have perfected their knowledge of the grape varieties' ideal cultural environment, and mastered the equation of land, soil, and climate. This ancestral agricultural preciseness is today's French wine industry's greatest asset.

The exact word is "terroir". In other words, the symbiosis between land, climate, grape, and the winemaker, which makes for an ideal combination - some sort of ancestral recipe. It is every wine lover's ambition to find ''it", to identify the best expression of terroir, and the winemaker that achieved that result through respectful agricultural methods, as well as traditional winemaking processes. It is also to be reminded that there is a winemaker that made all the right decision during the 12 months needed to produce the wine.

When it comes to preparing an ideal wine selection for the ever growing Asian wine consumption, it is important to rely on specialized professionals for its supply.
