With the Coronavirus crisis, the world of wine is in peril. Obviously, the huge structures and retail chains will always be there to serve you. However, small independent winegrowers and wine merchants are likely to drink the cup.
The closure of restaurants and bars has been announced, and all wine events have been canceled. Because of this, many winegrowers have lost contact with their customers.
How to refuel your cellar during confinement ?
Fabien Lainé had the brilliant idea of creating collaborative maps bringing together all the points of sale open during the confinement period.
Thanks to him, you will be able to discover a first menu with the wine merchants open. The second, brings together all areas open to take-away.
In order to be able to serve you and make a living from their work, many solutions have been found by wine merchants and winegrowers. Containment obliges, many of them have thought about new delivery or in-store pick-up options.
Obviously, I invite you to contact the wine merchant or the winemaker by phone before you go. Moreover, do not forget to follow the instructions of your cellar or winemaker !
