There is a telling scene in Charles Dickens'
19th century classic, A Tale of Two Cities.
The accidental spilling of a cask of wine
into the streets of Paris leads to a frenzied
celebration, allowing the impoverished
masses to forget everyday drudgery
for a while and drink to their health.
The scene sums up France's passionate
and age-old relationship with wine.
With its conducive climate and soil,
France produces a wonderful array
of fine wines with several regional
specialities. To celebrate the French
passion for wine, Evergreen has released
an eight day cruise, 'The Flavours of
Burgundy and Provence with International
Wine Experts.' This special cruise takes

wine producing regions and is escorted
