Sunday, April 13th, 2008Do you know what a Pot Lyonnais is? If you have been to the Beaujolais region you do. A pot (pronounced poe) Lyonnais (lee-on-ay) is a 46cl bundle of fun in the form of a wine carafe. Whilst dining in Fleurie once, I was told that the history of the pot was that it was considered the suitable amount for agricultural workers to drink on their lunchtime break. Yes, I know what you are thinking. Imagine if the same rules applied to the munitions factories! Ka-boom!!
The French are often copied, especially when it comes to wine, and the word on the street is that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. The Greeks must love the French very much judging by the amount of pointless and deliberately misleading French language on an average bottle of Greek wine. But apart from the French language this is no average bottle of Greek wine.
Stumble It!
