The Dutch (18th-17th century) and the German, the English and the northern European demand for wine and other products (mainly from the Caribbean) helped Bordeaux to recover flourishing exchanges with the rest of the world .

"This luxury is due to prosperity, and this prosperity to the remarquable fertility of the Bordeaux soil : wines and fruits are the products Bordeaux exports."
