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.

Viva la France 🇫🇷
Absolute shit 👎
Dear God, please tell me the French widdled in the wine, before they corked it and handed it to the Nazis
I dont like to diss many thing's in the comments, but the voice overs are so annoying and would really benefit getting of the under voice..
Un angle très original et oh combien passionnant pour raconter cette période de notre Histoire . Merci pour ce magnifique documentaire .
The second house that we purchased in France was a former winery. Under the sand in the endless cellars we found bottle after bottle of wine hidden from the German occupiers of the village of Le Puy Notre Dame.
Nazi invented the french wines. Before ww2, wines in general, and french wines in particular were worth nothing. Not after ww2. Worldwide famous…
The translation is very poor
A+ for content…D- for terrible AI English voiceover.
Narrator didn't need to sample all the wines.
More AI slop.dpnt waste your time…
What is with the audio? speeds up and slows down. Very annoying.
…………et les petites caves en Champagne étaient pillées, saccagées grossièrement par la soldatesque nazu en toute impunité ; certains exigeant même qu'on leur ƒasse la cuisine, et repartant avec l'argenterie (pendant la débâcle)………… c'était pour la Culture, évidemment !
Can’t keep watching. The speed differences in VO are too distracting for me.
The auduo is almost inaudible. What AI baloney is this?
Hate Ai should ban it not intelligent at all spoils a great documentary
Os franceses foram covardes…queriam derrubar os Ingleses ..só que os Ingleses eram Machos
If they spray all the vineyards with copper sulfate, I wouldn't drink anything out of them.
Was die Franzosen doch für schlaue Leute waren😂
Min 05:00 trying to belittle their wealth compared to their workers is rich.. As if they were not way better off than the simple poor workers…
Und dann gab es den General Patton, dem der deutsche Riesling nun wirklich zu herb, trocken, sauer schmeckte. Aber dagegen konnte man sich helfen. Er vermischte den Wein mit Coca Cola. Sante !
