[Bebs]

Your lawn could do with a drink!

Hosepipe ban in France atm. Can’t even wash the car

Oh well - take it easy then and have a beer!

A glass of wine

As far back as I can remember, the price of a cheap bottle of wine has always been about the price of a liter of gasoline

That is a great wine. I picked up 36 bottles just last year.

Indeed, grass turned yellow here, no car washing either..

@Bebs We also have rain here near Blois. I discovered that you must be between Descartes and Richelieu (160 km south of Le Mans) . It is a fairly dry place in the summer. Fortunately there are some wines!

Hey Phil! Yes we are 29 km outside Poitiers.
As you say, pretty dry these days. It’s actually pleasant when we have a downpour! Have discovered several excellent local wine producers and turned up in my van several times filling up.
‘10 bouteilles sir..? Non, 10 cases Monsieur!

Bebs. Do you ever go to your local wine producers cooperative, with empty plastic drinks containers and fill up with whatevers decent?
I discovered this practice a few years back, when I was living in Provence. Perfectly drinkable appellations for a few euros a litre!
Turned a happy camper into a very merry camper indeed!

Yes, my local producer has plastic drinks containers, and the people around do pop by for a btl, or a container. Awesome wine for very little outlay.

Managed to squeeze 74 bottles into the boot of the GT. Who says they are not practical?!

 

[GeoffCapes]

The wine rack is overflowing. I think I should do something about that!
