Cabernet Sauvignon is a dark-skinned grape variety that is used to make red wine. It is one of the most popular and widely planted grape varieties in the world.
The name Cabernet Sauvignon is a combination of the French words “cabernet” and “sauvignon”. The word “cabernet” is thought to be derived from the Latin word “carbo”, which means “coal”, and the word “sauvignon” is thought to be derived from the Latin word “silva”, which means “forest”. In older sources the word may be spelled with a hyphen as Cabernet-Sauvignon.
