The famed wine region of Bordeaux is located in western France, not far from the Atlantic Ocean; the La Dordogne and Garonne rivers cut through the largest growing region in the country. With an average vintage of over 960 million bottles, the region of Bordeaux, which is often referred to as Claret in the UK, offers a vast and varied selection, ranging from top to bottom in terms of price. A typical shaped Bordeaux glass features a big, tall bowl that narrows slightly at the glass opening, allowing plenty of room for the aeration process.
