An entire street, cellars of apartment blocks and underground car parks have been flooded with wine in a southern French town after a suspected act of sabotage by a shadowy group of "wine terrorists."
Thousands of litres of the tipple poured out of five giant vats of a wine merchant late on Tuesday evening in the Mediterranean port of Sète.
The wine flooded the avenue Maréchal-Juin, the street in front of the wine merchant’s premises, and was several inches deep along a stretch of the road.
Police did not comment on what had caused the massive leak, but the local press was quick to speculate that it was the work of saboteurs such as the Comité d'Action Viticole (Wine Action Committee), a shadowy group of "wine terrorists" bent on militant action to protect local produce from foreign imports.
The group, which previously went under the name CRAV, has been active since 1970 in France's biggest wine growing region, now called Languedoc-Roussillon-Midi- Pyrénées, where Sète is located
It has in recent years hijacked tankers of foreign wine and dynamited government buildings or supermarkets.
We mus'nt jump to conclusions. Its not "all" wine drinkers, just a tiny minority. Don't mention the Beaujolais. We don't want to risk all the wine drinkers being attracted to this by being critical. Wine drinking is a peace loving activity. Its all their own fault for drinking foreign wine. Still, I bet they've got wine on their hands as a result if this though. Hmm. Where have you been for the last few weeks Delauney?
Mind you, it will give Cromwell some ammo for a pun fest I guess.
