Poultry
In some countries, geese and ducks are force-fed to produce livers with an exceptionally high fat content for the production of "foie gras". Over 75% of world production of this product occurs in France, with lesser industries in Hungary and Bulgaria and a growing production in China. "Foie gras" is considered a luxury in many parts of the world, but the process of feeding the birds in this way is banned in many countries on animal welfare grounds.
First Growth
The Saint-Émilion Classification currently labels 15 wines as First Growths. These "Premiers Grands Crus Classés", subdivided into two further classes : "A" (2 wines) and "B" (13 wines). A further 64 wines are currently classified as "Grands Crus Classés".
Pomerol has refused to create any sort of classification scheme but it has produced red wines that are among the most expensive in the world, such as Petrus.
