“In 1940 France fell to the Nazis, and the German army almost immediately began a campaign of pillaging one of the assets the French held most dear: their wine.  Like others int eh French Resistance, wine makers mobilised to oppose their occupiers.  Wine and War tells the alternately thrilling and harrowing story of the French wine producers who undertook ingenious and often daring measures to save their finest and most precious crops and bottles as the Germans closed in on them.”
