During confinement, did you take the time to cook good meals and enjoy them with a good bottle of wine?
Problem, your cellar has since lost its superb ... Don't panic, Laurent Mariotte and the columnists of the show "La Table des Bons Vivants", give you their tips for making good purchases, even confined.
Between the ApéroZoom and the good small homemade meals, our cellar melted like snow in the sun during the first confinement!
Without pushing for consumption, we must admit that to accompany the second act of our life in confinement, our cellar would need a little supply.
To find the right bottles, we can count on Laurent Mariotte and his columnists on the program

Beer is the new wine
French gastronomic culture tends to favor good wine at the table, but why not take advantage of confinement to break the rule?
This is what Ophélie Neiman offers, who has decided to combine business with pleasure by preserving her wallet and having fun with a beer rather than a bottle of grand cru: "Finally, a good beer, just a good beer, it works well, ”explains the columnist.
"I chose the Parisienne. Because I was confined to Paris. And even if I am not a Parisian by birth, I had to get used to it. And then another that I adore at the Rabourdin brasserie, in Seine et Marne. And there is a peculiarity, it is that all the barley for beer is made on site because it is such an agricultural farm. "

Restaurant owners sell their cellars
For Olivier Poels, nothing can replace wine.
For him, there are "of course, wine merchants who remain open. Large-scale distribution as well. But restaurant owners too who start selling wine."
A reliable alternative to maintain turnover despite the closure of establishments.
“They took the place of wine merchants to a certain extent. So it doesn't always please wine merchants to see that they have competition from restaurateurs. But it's true that those who sell take away, in general, allow you buy the bottle that goes with a good dish. You go home with the complete package. You have the wine pairing at home. "
Something to delight us during confinement.
