The area that can be planted as vineyards in the Champagne district is rather limited, and as the demand has gone on increa- sing at a very rapid rate, prices have been forced up, and other districts of France have tried their hand at making sparkling wine. Thus we have seen sparkling Burgixndy, sparkling Chablis, sparkling Saumur — all excellent wines for the prices they are sold at. LIST OF WINES 839 LIST OF BEST KNOWN BRANDS OF WINES. CHAMPAGNE.

The name of Claret is practically given to all red wine coming from France, with the exception of Burgundy and Roussillon, which form small classes apart. The best clarets are those grown in the Gironde, but there are many other departments which furnish claret to Bordeaux, to Paris, and to foreign parts. There is no single district in France capable of producing all the wine drunk as claret, so the merchant has to buy large quantities from the Herault, Aude, Gard, Gironde, Charente, Cher, Burgundy, and Anjou districts. One wine is rich in colour and body ; another is thin ; a third, like the Charente wine, is "fresh." These are blended in bond, and make up a very pleasant, drinkable wine, which has the great advantage of being moderate in price, principally because it is not the produce of one single district. Claret is made in a very simple way. The red grapes are gathered, taken to the farmhouses, and crushed between two grooved cylinders. * John Searcy & Sons, Connaught Street, London. 840 PRACTICAL GASTRONOMY ORUS DE BORDEAUX. Bordeaux.
