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
