Not sure if its the same program, but I caught a bit about many of the champagne vine-yeards being littered in litter, quite litterally. Apparently after WWII it was felt that throwing detritous from the cities would help fertilise the vines, and no one has bothered to clear the shit up. Broken razors, watches, all sorts of shit between the vines
Madiran Reserve des Tuguets on offer again at Tesco at about £5.99. Fine enough for me.

The only thing that seperates these vinyards from Chateauneauf du Pape is the A7 Autoroute. Oh yes and about 5 quid a bottle in price. CheersEros
