Grapes

I never realised this before I moved to Belgium that the Belgian's are very big on grapes.

Belgian wine first appeared in the Middle Ages, around the 9th century.

Wine production occurs in both Wallonia and Flanders. As French is one of Belgium's official languages, the official terms used for Belgian wine regions are the same as those for French wine. Belgium has five officially demarcated Appellations d'origine contrôlées (AOCs), four in Flanders and one in Wallonia.

You don't have to travel far to see evidence of their countless greenhouses.

Even when they are not turning their grapes into wine they have countless festivals towards the end of the summer where you can go and sample their different varieties.

Unfortunately these ones have seen better days but are still being used.

But at the end of the day beer is their true love !
