When it comes to producing the world’s best-known wines, France sits firmly ahead of the pack. One of the oldest and largest wine producers on the planet, the French have been practising the art of winemaking for over 2,600 years and currently produce around 60 million hectolitres of wine every year. One of the oldest and largest wine producers on the planet, the French have been practising the art of winemaking for over 2,600 years and currently produce around 60 million hectolitres of wine every year. Vin De France provides French winemakers with more flexibility, such as blending across different regions of France, and including grape varieties on front labels, whilst remaining unmistakably French.
But with all that history comes baggage – after centuries of thinking about and classifying wines in terms of terroir, or the land on which the grapes were grown, French winemakers had little opportunity to experiment – limited to using only the grape varieties for which their region was best-known. Enter Vin De France.
To provide modern, inventive French winemakers with the ultimate ‘creative playground’, the Vin De France category was established in 2009, providing the flexibility to blend wines from different regions of France, and to label wines by the grapes with which they are made rather than the region they came from.
Free to craft new flavour profiles, Vin De France allows France’s best winemakers to create wines that take traditional French grape varieties to new heights.
Enjoying a glass of Vin De France wine shouldn’t just be reserved for a holiday in the French countryside. To make it easier than ever for Australians to indulge in a little taste of France from the comfort of their couch, Vin De France has been working closely with Liquorland to ensure a wide variety of Vin De France wines are available on shelves across the country.

Whether you enjoy a red wine laden with fruit, a fresh white or a moreish rosé, they’ll you’ll be able to find a harmonious, easy-drinking Vin De France wine at your local bottle-o.
Valérie Pajotin, Director, Anivin De France (the association in charge of promoting Vin De France wines) said that Vin De France wines are growing in popularity throughout Australia, as wine lovers look to expand their wine knowledge and enjoy new tastes.
“Australians have missed the opportunity to travel and explore the world over the last 18 months, so are looking to replicate these experiences in their own backyard,” said Valérie Pajotin.
“Our Vin De France wines offer consistent quality, excellent value for money and pair perfectly with winter favourites like creamy pastas or roast meats, making them the ideal tipple as the temperature starts to drop,” said Valérie Pajotin.
From elegant Chardonnay to ruby red Pinot Noir, Vin De France wines are ideal for every taste and budget.
