Description

We can all agree with Winston Churchill’s famous adage concerning Champagne: “In victory we deserve it, in defeat we need it.” After the loss of Bordeaux in 1453, English wine merchants resumed their trade in Gascon wines almost immediately, such was the need of their countrymen back home. During the Second World War many Loire and Alsace wine producers walled-up parts of their cellars to confound the thirst of the conquering German troops. Together with your history-buff host, Demetri Walters MW, you will celebrate the story of those wines so closely associated with fortune’s wheel. Hosted by Demetri Walters MW, Wine Educator and Presenter
