My goodness - seems that fewer French people are having a daily glass of wine - is this the end of civilization as we know it? I'm willing to pop over and help them out. Anyone care to join me?

Yes the quality does vary Flickety, you learn who has the good stuff and which table to sit on at village events. The licences are only held by certain families and they (the licences) do die out. We have a tumble down building on our property where the calva was apparently hidden during the war. Have never found any though!
You may need a glass or two to warm up here this Easter...
