Even if your interest in wine has been restricted to its taste and its effect, a visit to Bordeaux, one of the great wine-growing regions of France, is almost sure to kindle a desire to learn more about one of nature's most delectable products. Bordeaux has at least 5000 wine châteaux, many of which offer highly informative guided tours of their cellars and a tasting. Villages of pale stone houses with crinkly-tiled red roofs punctuate the miles of farmland and the straight rows of vines.
