Every year all the local supermarkets have a Foire aux Vins. You can usually pick up excellent bargains and either drink now or lay down for the future.
Our largest supermarket, E. Leclerc launched theirs last night. They select the wine buying customers from their loyalty card list and invite them to a preview with food and a 5% reduction on anything you buy on the night.
I was just looking through the catalogue and thought you might be interested to know......
