{"title":"Wines: France","description":"\u003cp\u003eA country viewed by many as the home of fine wine, it is almost unique in terms of how embedded food and wine is in the nations culture.  Given the diverse geography, with so much of the country providing the climate and soil suitable for viticulture, it is no surprise that its produces such an extensive and varied selection of wines. It is the country from where the vast majority of the New World's most popular \"international\" grapes and stylistic influences originate. While there might seem to be an alarming disparity between the most sought after wines (were a case might set you back as much as a deposit on a small house) and the millions of gallons of vin de table filling up the European wine lake every year, there is so much great value to be found between the two extremes. Bordeaux, Burgundy, Champagne, and the Rhone may still dominate the market for fine wine, but regions including the Loire, Alsace, Languedoc \u0026amp; Roussillon and the South West are increasingly becoming excellent sources of good quality, affordable wines.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"la-mondotte-2000-750ml","title":"La Mondotte - 2000 (750ml)","description":"","brand":"ferol","offers":[{"title":"750ml","offer_id":43035046248611,"sku":"127965","price":289.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/4104\/0803\/products\/red_wine_fbff7ab0-4d72-40e0-aa5a-d4b22c0acff7.jpg?v=1682310222"},{"product_id":"girardin-meursault-1er-cru-les-perrieres-2005-750ml","title":"Bouchard Meursault Perrieres- 2005 (750ml)","description":"\u003cp\u003eDeft though not invisible wood surrounds ripe but airy white flower and spiced pear aromas that give way to rich, sweet and nicely detailed flavors that pack good vibrancy and punch into the intensely mineral-suffused finish that is both dry and penetrating.
