Bordeaux winemakers have opened a war: intercepting trucks with Spanish wine

Boulou, France - October 19, 2023

In the heart of Bordeaux, the historical capital of French winemaking, a wine scandal has broken out, which shocks not only the locals, but also the global gourmet community. Bordeaux winemakers, fighters for their traditions and cultural heritage, decided to take the situation into their own hands, based on dissatisfaction with the import of Spanish wine.

On the toll road running through the small town of Boulou, France, and the A9 motorway, between France and Spain, events took place that did not leave indifferent either French winemakers or Spanish wine producers. French winemakers, expressing their demands for the support of their wineries and the use of protectionist measures of the state, have taken radical measures.

Wine activists intercepted trucks carrying Spanish wine and, under cover of the night, began acts of sabotage. Their actions were aimed at destroying Spanish wines imported to France, which created frightening scenes of destruction on the border between the two countries.

Leading French winemakers claim that such actions have become a necessity to protect the uniqueness and quality of their wines. French wine is not just a drink, it is part of the cultural heritage and history of France. It symbolizes centuries of winemaking and craftsmanship that has been inherited and passed down from generation to generation.

The dispute over the justification of such radical measures continues. The French authorities are in a difficult situation, faced with the insistent demands of French winemakers. But one thing is obvious: this wine war raises important questions about protecting the interests of domestic winemakers and protectionist measures.
