The Burgundy wine region is in eastern France and neighbours to the north of Beaujolais, not far from the French/Swiss border; the most famous Burgundies are dry red wines using the Pinot Noir grape and white wines using Chardonnay grapes. The Burgundy region has over 100 different vineyards covering 30,000 hectares, making it one of France's most condensed wine-producing areas. A Burgundy styled glass is similar to neighbouring Beaujolais, and a large wide bowl allows the wine to breathe at the glasses widest point, which is vital for the aeration process.
