The Nazis sought to seize France’s finest wines as both trophies and economic fuel. Winemakers responded with ingenious resistance: hiding their bottles, deceiving the Germans with mediocre wine, and joining forces to minimize losses. As a result, despite the pillaging, a large part of France’s viticultural heritage was preserved, which explains why, after 1945, the cellars were not completely emptied.

  1. Помнится, Де Голь приписывал себе освобождение Франции от нацистов 😂

  2. Some incorrect facts in this. Case in point, Pommard is not famous for it's white wines. My assumption is that it is partially an AI creation, taking supposed actual footage and documentary film and concocting a mix of real dialogue and supposed story to create a vaguely new story. Therefore creating Fake stories that appear true… Our future?

  3. "ont déjoué les nazis" cela ne veut rien dire. Ont déjoué la vigilance, la ruse, la stratégie des nazis. Merci d'écrire en français !
