Tasting Argeliers: A Wine Village With An Unexpected Revolutionary Destiny
Manage episode 356349354 series 3433935
In 1907, winemakers in the south of France revolted against the proliferation of fake and adulterated wines flooding the market and the French government's failure to address the problem. Led by an unassuming but charismatic resident of the small village of Argeliers, Marcelin Albert (nicknamed the Cicada), the winemakers aroused the passion of hundreds of thousands. Their efforts eventually forced the government to put laws in place that serve as the basis for the modern French wine industry.
