chablis

That's like saying a bottle of Chablis wine is more expensive than a bottle of coke.

Yes, you can get coca cola for a fraction of the price of a Chablis wine.

Obviously if you had a Barolo and a Chablis and asked people to pick out the white wine then people would easily manage.

If you like white wine you should try Chablis and Macon Village.

And for making, say, really nice seat cushions for the driver's seats of Rolls Dropheads with owners in the Chablis and Brie set in the Hamptons, sure.

Do me a favour, save the child if it's in your power and think about all the possible parallel universe outcomes over a nice glass of chablis later.

I'm very much an amateur and I can easily tell the difference between sauvignon blanc, riesling, chablis (chardonnay from burgundy) in a blind testing (we often do that).

However, if you can't taste the difference between a decent Red Burgundy, California Zinfandel, and a Merlot-Cab or between a decent Chablis and a Sav Blanc then you probably just don't care.

For example, there are many hectares of land that can produce Chablis (much of it perfectly fine to you and me), but only 1% of the wine producing estates of the region have Grand Cru status.

E.g., for ad targeting, they'd be thinking in terms of demographics, gen X, Chablis and Brie set, McMansion set, etc., and none of that would be in my targeting math.

Sancerre is 100% Sauvignon Blanc, red Bordeaux some blend of six permitted grapes, Cab and Merlot being the primary ones (subregions have laws regarding which subset is allowed), Chablis is 100% Chardonnay, Beaujolais is 100% Gamay, Chianti is at least 70% Sangiovese.

The fetishizing actually transformed the way local products are perceived and grown, by lending importance to the idea that instead of going for something generic, we should be aiming to express something more, the way some grape varietal can express the underlying mineral bedbrock (as with Chardonnay in Burgundy's Chablis area, which is geologically a region of Kimmeridgian limestone).

A "typical" Australian Chardonnay tastes buttery, while a Chablis is like sucking flint.

White Burgundy (Chablis, Macconais etc): "minerality" is the word to work in.

I was going to pour a glass of nice Chablis and gingerly sift through them all on a Tuesday evening!" No.

This time, the United States agreed to not allow new uses of certain terms that were previously considered to be "semi-generic," such as Champagne (as well as Burgundy, Chablis, Port and Chianti).

Mistaking a thick red Sicilian wine for a bone dry Chablis?

I stayed in a small town outside Chablis, France, many years ago.

Initial users, likely the Chablis-Brie, BMW, opera-going, ski challet set.
