In the vineyards, wine caves and cellars of France as war and occupation came to the country, winemakers acted heroically not only to save the best wines but to defend their way of life. This collection offers true stories of the vignerons who sheltered Jewish refugees in their cellars and of winemakers who risked their lives to aid the resistance. They made chemicals in secret laboratories to fuel the resistance and fled from the Gestapo when arrests became imminent. There were treacheries too, as some of the nation's winemakers supported the Vichy regime or the Germans themselves and collaborated.
