A neighbour has just had a delivery of loose wine. The lorry arrives about this time every year to deliver a box of the chosen wine. This year Arnauld has chosen a red Bordeaux wine. The box contains 40 bottles and Arnauld has spent all day cleaning the bottles, bottling the wine, corking it and then labelling it.. He was too embarrassed to allow me to take a photo of him at work, but I did manage to get a photo of the box !!..
Most houses still have a ‘cave’ (cellar) and Arnauld said rather sagely, as he stood back and admired his replenished cave, that a Frenchman is only worth his salt if he has at least 100 bottles of wine in his cave.
