Red Bicyclette PN

[Kcwhippet]

Not that many folks here have or would be drinking this juice, but I found an interesting item yesterday. It seems the folks Gallo has had making their Languedoc PN for the Red Bicyclette label have been adding significant amounts of Merlot and Syrah to boost production - to the tune of 18 million bottles. It appears French officials became suspicious when the producers claimed more hectoliters for this label's PN than the entire region produces. Some serious six figure fines in Euros were imposed.
