The white grapes from which white wine is mainly produced are green or yellow of which there are many so that white wine can be produced anywhere that grapes can be grown. Some varieties are well-known such as the Chardonnay, Sauvignon, and Riesling. Others have a discreet existence hidden behind the name of a wine resulting from the assembly of several varieties. Tokay, Sherry, and Sauternes are examples of these.
Marc by Marc Jacobs was founded by its namesake Marc Jacobs in 2001 as a diffusion line to sit alongside their flagship line of luxury merchandise. The idea behind its creation was to bring designer fashion and style to everyone at an affordable price.
Famously fired by management in 1993, following an unsuccessful grunge collection, Jacobs and Duffy launched the Marc Jacobs International company shortly after, creating a few independent collections prior to selling 96 percent of the shareholding to LVMH in 1997 coinciding with Mr Jacobs' appointment as Louis Vuitton's artistic director.
