 Alsace produces some of the world's most noted dry rieslings and is the only region in France to produce mostly varietal wines identified by the names of the grapes used (wine from Burgundy is also mainly varietal, but not normally identified as such), typically from grapes also used in Germany.The most notable example is Gewurztraminer.Alsace is also the main beer-producing region of France, thanks primarily to breweries in and near Strasbourg.
