Alsace
Sheltered from rain by the Vosges, Alsace is one of France's driest regions. A peculiarity: it is almost the only one to print the grape variety large on the label. Styles run from razor-sharp dry riesling to opulent, perfumed gewurztraminer.
On a table or a shelf, the shape alone often gives away the region.
