== Reputation and appreciation ==
== Reputation and appreciation ==
Burgundie is home to some of the most expensive and sought after wines in the world. However, some top vintage first growth wines are equally as expensive.
The global reputation of [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] wines is one of prestige, sophistication, and reverence. [[Burgundie]], particularly known for its Pinot Noir and Chardonnay wines, has established itself as a paramount force in the world of fine wines. The region's distinct terroir, meticulous winemaking traditions, and the classification system have contributed to its global acclaim.
 
Burgundie's reputation stems from its commitment to terroir-driven winemaking, where each vineyard's unique characteristics are carefully preserved and expressed in the wines. The Burgoignesc classification system, with designations like Grand Cru and Premier Cru, contributes to the discernment of quality and the establishment of a hierarchy among vineyards. Some [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] wines, especially those from esteemed vineyards, are produced in limited quantities, enhancing their exclusivity and desirability among collectors.
[[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] wines consistently receive high praise and accolades from wine critics, contributing to their global allure and positioning [[Burgundie]] as a benchmark for quality. [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] wines hold cultural significance, with centuries of winemaking traditions shaping the region's identity and contributing to the global appreciation of its wines.

===Levantine reputation===
The [[1995 Vandarch Republic wine scandal]] was a crucial event in the modern marketing of [[Burgundie]] wines. The [[Government of Burgundie]] banned the import of wines from the tainted regions, in so doing growing its own market share in [[Burgundie]] and heavily subsided a global marketing and export campaign to capture as much international market share as possible.On average, Burgundie vineyards saw a 9-37% increase in sales both domestically and internationally.


Fans of Burgundie wine have been organizing events celebrating its virtues for decades.
Numerous [[Anglei|Ænglish]] vineyards have attempted to emulate the styles of expensive [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] wines in an attempt to enter the fine wine market by undercutting the prestigious [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] brands. This particularly occured as a trend towards the late 1990s and early 2000s as Ænglish viticulture was attempting to reinvent itself in the aftermath of the [[1995 Vandarch Republic wine scandal]] which all but annihilated Ænglish wine exports. Similarly, a number of [[Yonderre|Yonderian]] vineyards have attempted to enter the market for {{wp|Madeira wine|Muratia wine}} under names such as "fortified [[Vandarch]] wine" and "[[Vollardie]] stone wine"  without much international success.


== Major events ==
[[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] viticulture remains highly prominent at the annual [[Catalina Wine Mixer]], the largest combined helicopter exposition and wine tasting in [[Levantia]], held in [[Sainte-Cateline]], [[Yonderre]]. [[Burgundie|Burgoignesc]] wineries and vineyards of all calibers have taken part in the [[Catalina Wine Mixer]] since its premiere in the year [[2000]], representing themselves not only by means of ordinary wines but also {{wp|Madeira wine|Muratia}} and {{wp|Sherry|Xerie}}. Market analyses suggests that a renewed worldwide interest in both, in turn leading to major increases in exports of both throughout the 2000s and 2010s, is at least in part attributable to the [[Catalina Wine Mixer]].
