The French "L'Apero"

The French Apéritif (commonly known as L’Apéro ) is a pretty slick custom in the French way of life. People of each region of France have preferences for certain aperitifs, usually stemming from traditional local availability.

The French (and guests) have nuts, chips or small food bites such as thin slices of dry sausage, small quiches or hors d’oeuvres.

The most popular Apéritifs in France are:
Kir: 4 oz. of Sauvignon Blanc + 1/2 oz. Crème de Cassis.

Kir Royal: 4 oz. of Champagne or Sparkling wine + 1/2 oz. Crème de Cassis or Raspberry.

Moscato: This sweet white fruity wine is great with Blue style cheeses, salted almonds and green olives.
