Alsace is the strangest, most distinctive wine region in France. It's been French, then German, then French, then German, then French again. Its grapes are German. Its bottles are German. Its villages have German names. And yet the wines are unmistakably, deliberately French. In this video I break down everything you need to read an Alsace label: the four "noble" grapes, the AOC system, the 51 Grand Crus (added one by one between 1975 and 2007), the late-harvest sweet wines, Crémant d'Alsace, and the brand-new Premier Cru tier that's being voted on right now. This is your ultimate guide to Alsace wine.
