Default Languedoc

DH was buying a few wines this week and upon entering the store saw
'lots' of Languedoc. He commented upon this to the manager. The
manager commented that wines of Languedoc were like Gallo wines.

I just read that this region is the biggest wine region in the world
and produces a third of France's wine. He could have said that
instead.

At any rate, there were lots of them, and inexpensive.

I can see what you mean. With stuffs like BV coastal and 47 lb
rooster becomming Vin de Pays d'Oc, those wines must be pretty cheap I
guess.
