COURSE DESCRIPTION

This section covers the words and vocabulary used to describe various types of drinks in French.

From its flagship bottled mineral water brand Evian to its huge variety of tasty wines, France is a country well known in the world for its drinks. The French take their drinks very seriously. A glass of red wine is almost always at hands reach during meals, and let’s not forget the special treatment Evian receives from its bottling process – [intricate bottle designs from famous fashion designers] – to its remarkable distribution network – [you can even enjoy your hamburger with some Evian water at French McDonalds!!).
If drinks, alcoholic or not, are as important to you as they are to the French, you can absorb the following French words…without moderation. Have fun!
