- Abstract
This article presents information on various wine stores in Great Britain. Plaisirs en Beaujolais is a wine store, just south of Macon in central France. There are usually only a handful of customers in the store, but each one wheels an enormous trolley stacked high with wine boxes. Here, wines that retail at over £8 in Great Britain are available for around 5 or about £3.50. Fortunately, the wines sold are not just ones that the supplier is trying to get rid of. Attached to the store is what might, or might not, be called a wine museum. The prices are so low because the store is a local demonstration of the low pricing policy that is one of the watchwords of the George Duboeuf wine store. While the wines themselves bear out the company's commitment to low pricing and high quality, there is another attraction to prove Duboeuf's point. Never satisfied, Duboeuf has, in the last year, added a series of gardens to the complex.
