    Hi John, Opel is actually German, not French. They did get a complaint from the Mexican Ambassador, he obviously stayed awake just long enough to watch it!😉 If you want to see Clarksons serious side, he's made some excellent documentaries for TimeLine. Only stipulation, you must do this one first, cause there're spoilers in the others! First one is "For Valour, what does it take to win the British Medal of Honor", The second one is "The Greatest Raid".

    German wine is pretty decent, usually fruity and not as dry as most other European wines, plus there's more than one wine growing area not just the Rhine valley. However the two wines they mentioned are the very very basic types. Most Britsh, or even other Europeans haven't a clue about German wine and its different quality levels.

    German white wines are somewhat similar to New Zealand wines. At least the white ones like Riesling and Gewürztraminer. I'm not German, but the wines are quite enjoyable on a hot summer day.

  • @arnodobler1096

    German wine, especially Riesling, was the number one white wine in the world, and is now again. Many Brits buy sweet white wine from Germany that nobody else drinks, they are the only customers for this niche product. DE is No.8 in terms of production volume, more than Portugal. Top Rieslings from the Rheingau can cost €1,500 a bottle. Before the First World War, they were more expensive than Bordeaux wines.

      Lived for around ten years, in and near Mönchengladbach, I married (Still am) to a German Girl and we used to spend many holidays on the Mosel, bringing back a van load of wine from a village near Traben-Trarbach for the Father-in law in Moers. The wife and I did a trip in 1982, before we were married, down to the western Schwarzwald, Liked a lot of the various wines from the Baden-Württemberg area, although they were usually more akin to French wines perhaps. Quite partial to a Frankenwein too but usually I'm there around Bamberg on a beer tour with my German mates.
      BTW. Looking at your name, we have something else in common. I was born in Islington but my family origin is in Padstow.
