WHEN WINE IS POLITICS: IN FRANCE A YOUNG VIGNERON FROM BULLY, PITIOR PIERRE, IS OPENLY AGAINST THE PREMIER WITH AN UNEQUIVOCAL LABEL: “FUCKS@RKOZY.COM”. AN “ANTIGOVERNMENT” TOAST

It’s a fact that wine is a national symbol In France, but no one could predict that it was also an instrument of political struggle. A young vigneron from Bully, Pitiot Pierre, head of a small 1.5 hectares farm, has prepared a bottle with an unequivocal label against the French prime minister: “fucks@rkozy.com”.
It is a “natural” Gamay wine ready to become Beaujolais, and the wine producer says, “It will be a great wine, one of my best”. About the label, on 20minutes.fr, he said: “It’s a joke, the name is written in very small print”. But you can bet that many will read it, for an “anti-government” toast.
