Best Value Vin De France Selection

Every year Anivin de France, the organisation in charge of promoting Vin De France wines, holds a blind tasting of wines called the BEST VALUE VIN DE FRANCE SELECTION, where trophy winning wines become our category ambassadors for the year.

The aim of this event is to select wines in the Vin De France denomination worthy of particular recommendation to the international retail market.
