white wine is present in all kinds of works, novels, poetry, and philosophy itself. The white wine most commonly cited in literature is French champagne. François Rabelais, an angevin bon vivant, repeatedly celebrated the white wine of Anjou that he liked and it was appreciated by his literary heroes. "Jumping, dancing, touring – and drinking white wine and rose – and do nothing every day – What counts as crowns of the sun" - François Rabelais During the Enlightenment, Voltaire and Casanova celebrated wine parties, drunk at fine tables. "Every guest had at his right a bottle that could be white wine or mead. I know I drank ... of the excellent white burgundy" - Casanova "From this fresh wine the sparkling foam For our French it is a brilliant image" - Voltaire White wine is also used in humour, in a drama with Marcel Pagnol or in a gossip radio show for Pierre Desproges.

Looks like it comes from the vineyards of the North Pole!" - Marcel Pagnol "In June at the fish market, one does not loiter anymore: one strolls. Behind the port, the cherry tomato is nowhere to be seen at the farmers market stall. One munches them with salt on the sand with a basil branch and a glass of Brem iced white wine" - Pierre Desproges Michel Onfray has written a book based on the Sauternes. Partly on wine and its land, its philosophical reflection outweighs the viticultural theme. In song White wine celebrated by poets was sometimes set to music. The most famous white wine in relation to a song is probably: Ah! the white wine by Jean Dréjac and Charles Borel-Clerc. A touch of champagne is a song by Harry Fragson written about 1890. I am Drunk, sung by Louis Byrec and written by Yvette Guilbert in 1895 gave the best part to knowledge of sparkling wines: "I come to the wedding of my sister Annette And, when the champagne is flowing, I could not hold you, I am tipsy, and I pinched my little tuft. I feel flageoler I feel my legsM I have the heart guil'ret, the pleasing air I am ready to cavort When I drank Moet et Chandon". Even some varieties are mentioned in song such as the song entitled
