Foire aux Vins

 


When the vendange is finished (grape picking) and the vignerons are busy making this year’s wines and putting them down then storage warehouses need to make room . Everything moves along the supply chain so, with new stock about to arrive,  retailers need to clear the shelves.  That's when wine fairs pop up everywhere and this is the ideal time to restock the cellar.

 

At the supermarket - wine as far as the eye can see


and both sides of the aisle and down the centre

Too many choices


Chateaux Mouton Rothschild, Pichon Baron and Angélus



or perhaps a Margaux ?

We only bought twelve cases ( six dozen bottles) as that’s all we could fit in the trolley – this time. Should last until Christmas.




Bonne semaine mes amis

  1. You simply must join us in early August 2021 for the Buzet wine sale. I do hope France will have got on top of the Covid thing by then. Mind you, there won't be any wines at 500 euros!
