1. Which of the following were the effects of the 1976 Judgement of Paris? Select all and only those that apply.
France was no longer the only place that could make good wine. New world regions were now credible as makers of good wine.
The context of the 1976 Judgment of Paris is Steven Spurrier, an English person who ran wineries and a wine school in Paris, who organized a tasting of the top-rated Californian cabernets and chardonnays in the celebration of the American Bicentennial. For the competition, he included four Bordeaux wines and Burgundies that were to act as a yardstick in the evaluation of the Californian cabernets and chardonnays. The judges of the competition chose the Californian wine over the French, much to the surprise of the audience.
