The Amazon Rainforest is a moist broad leaf forest that covers nearly the entire Amazon river basin which makes it the single largest stretch of rainforest in the world, accounting for more than half of the entire natural rainforest on the earth.n short, this is an OLD rainforest, much of which is around 55 million years old. It appeared just when the Atlantic Ocean had widened enough to provide a warm, moist climate to the Amazon basin, just the right conditions for a tropical rainforest.
Bordeaux is the worldâs biggest source of top quality wines. But a Bordeaux wine can cost anything from a few dollars or euros to several thousand per bottle. In Bordeaux you can find the ultimate luxuries in the wine world but also some very good value wines. The â1855 classificationâ is very important for the business of Bordeaux wine.
Inland and southwards from the Bordeaux / Saint Emilion regions, there are a number of less well-known wine growing areas, many of them producing quite good wines at very reasonable prices. These include Bergerac, Cahors, Gaillac and Marcillac (all Appellation ContrÃ´lÃ©e wines) , or CÃ´tes du Tarn or Vin de Pays du Lot.
