Exposition Universelle (1855) - Definition and Overview |
|
 Images of the Palais d'Industrie The Exposition Universelle of 1855 was a World's Fair held in Paris, France. It followed by four years London's Great Exhibition and attempted to rival and top that fair, which produced The Crystal Palace, with a Palais d'Industrie. It was a major event in France, which was newly under the control of Emperor Napoleon III.
For the Exposition, Napoleon III requested a classification system for France's best Bordeaux wines which were to be on display for visitors from around the world. Brokers from the wine industry ranked the wines according to a château's reputation and trading price, which at that time was directly related to quality. The result was the important Bordeaux Wine Official Classification of 1855.
