Strange Wine?!

[Vulcan]

Some folks I know recently came back from holiday in France. I asked them if they had a nice time and if they’d sampled any nice French wine? “Oh no, we don’t like French wine” was the reply! I think they were self catering but it still seems strange to me to buy Australian wine in Sainsburys to take on holiday to France? Especially as the duty on wine is so low over there compared to the UK, £0.03 a bottle versus £2.35.

Nowt so queer as folk, as my mum would say. In France I do drink French wine, but in the uk seldom as I find it overpriced for something good.

That would be like taking some white sliced bread and cheddar cheese, I miss regular trips to France and being able to get really solid wine at decent prices.
Sun, baguette, cheese, maybe some saucisson and a nice Cote rotie

We like Rosé, this being one of our favourites at the moment. As it’s on offer I think I’ll buy half a dozen tomorrow.

I haven't bought French wine since 1983.
