France

A day without wine is like a day without sunshine, or so the saying goes. While Been there would never endorse binge drinking, we're certainly partial to the odd glass of something fizzy, fruity, sweet or dry. Plus, we're a travel site and wine tourism has certainly caught on in a way that beer never has. So uncork, sit back and send us your wine tips - where to buy it, where to see it made and, of course, where to drink it.

Coteaux de Languedoc wines

Posted by CaroleBristol 19 July 2007

North and west of Montpellier are some great wine areas - all under the Coteaux de Languedoc appellation.

Try the named communes - Montpeyroux, St Saturnin, Pic St Loup, Cabrieres.

The reds are the best but some of the roses and whites are nice too.

Picpoul de Pinet is pretty good with seafood.

The Caves Cooperatives for all these wines are great places to taste and buy.

Near Aniane in the Herault is the Mas de Daumas Gassac - only allowed to be Vin de Pays but really stunning wine.
