Bordeaux wines (e.g. Médoc, St Emillion, Pomérol), wines from the Rhone Valley, Burgundy (Bourgogne) and Languedoc (Pays d’Or) - in fact nearly all wines from France, are blends of various grapes. The celebrated Châteauneuf du Pape can contain up to 13 grape varieties. Many Italian wines are also blends. Autralian, South African and Californian producers tend to concentrate on single grape production, which is much simpler to understand quite frankly, as more often than not the grape blend details are not disclosed on French wine bottles. You just have to know what’s in them!

Some of the healthiest blended red wines and where to find them are listed below :
