1990's cheap French sounding red wine?

[Dirk]

Is that true?

Yes.
Watch the Channel 4 programme. The guy who invented it says that's how it was made.

Didn't the Austrians or Germans add a dash of ethylene glycol (anti-freeze) to jizz up their white wines?

Don't you mean 'jazz'?

The in-laws live in France and one of the F-I-L's favourite tipples is a "rustique" red wine from their local Intermarche that costs 90c a bottle.
It's not the smoothest drink, but it's perfectly drinkable and at under a euro a bottle how can you go wrong?
