Pray for me...we are down to the last case of "Côte de rhone Vieille Vignes" bought in the Lidl "Foire".
Its getting tough here
Probably the best value for money wine on the planet when bought by the case.
Savour it - though I'm sure it'll feature in future wine fairs - been in about the last 6 Lidl have had and AFAIK still the same price it was in 2018.
Don't forget to leave a review of the French and other European campsites you have visited!
We ran out of French wine about Easter last year, we would normally be stocking up in France in May, and Sept. We had to scratch around at the back of the cupboards to find the dregs, bottles we had been given, or won in a raffle. After they were gone, we've had to be inventive with 'cocktails', our stocks are very depleted now. Heaven forbid that we actually have to buy wine at the supermarket.
Anyone got a good recipe to use with Benedictine? It tastes like cough mixture.........

We bring back around 150 bottles that gets us through to the new year usually.....we currently have about 10 ltrs remaining of our summer stock!
Where do you secrete that amount?
------------- XVI yes?
As well is two words!
How does a sage know everything about everything? or does he? or does he just think he does?
Remember, if you buy something you bought it, not brought it.

Big wine rack, and we do buy quite a few of the 5ltr boxes from vineyards, so these are easy to stash! And if there isnt space then we have to open them!
are 'tobacco sticks for heating' for those hookah pipes?
anyway, will the new limits on import quantities and the additional duties thereof reflect in the price of wine and beer on the shelves of the supermarkets here? will the supermarkets need to pay additional duties on their imports? in the past when i used to travel accross the tunnel and back many times each year i would enjoy a trip around cite europe to stock up on booze but latley i havent bothered because the prices in Aldi etc meant it wasnt worthwhile. i still enjoyed a walk around carefour just to bring back some french goodies. now we have something of a captive market will prices increase?
