1 hectoliter = 100 liters. Beaujolais represents some 2.2 percent of France’s wine production, or .50 percent of total world production.
2
One hectare = 2.471 acres.

A thick glass carafe measuring forty-six centiliters.

Literally, “controlled” (or “checked” or “monitored” or “verified”) origins, but I feel that “certified” renders the French meaning better. Others would use the term “designated.” Difficult translation here.
5
In December of 2006 a change in the rules allowed limited irrigation, upon declaration, but to be applied no later than August 15 of each year.
6
As of 2007, INAO officially changed its name to INAQ:
Institut National des Appellations et de la Qualité
, in an apparent effort to underline that the products (wines, cheeses, etc.) given its certification did not only originate in certain
terroirs
, but were also
good.
The nuance was significant, because over the years too many AOC labels had been handed out too easily, debasing the credibility of the certification.
