Drink, drink and drink more!
Hi! I'm Oz Clarke. I'm
the Wine Man. I'm here to guide you through the world
of wine - pointing out the tricky bits as they occur, but
mostly showing you that wine doesn't have to be daunting
and confusing. After all, why does wine exist? To make us
happy, to bring friends and family together for a good laugh,
to transform a simple meal into a party - whether for two
or for 20. If a wine doesn't make me smile
I don't see the point of it, and at SeaFrance we want
you to think the same way.
Shopping for wines in France is a great joy - you drive off the ferry and head off away into the vineyard areas further south, whether you take advantage of the great shopping on the north French coast around the Channel ports (and don't forget to eat: there are loads of delightful little restaurants offering local fare at affordable prices - every village along the Côte d'Opale seems to have at least one restaurant) - or whether you buy from us, at our all-year-round low prices on board the ferry. I've included a simple guide to the wines of France. I've asked - and answered - some favourite questions. You can also read about our adventures to the Champagne region of France, guided by some fine examples of classic horsepower. So, reach for your corkscrew, pour yourself a glass and enjoy the site!

Where is best for wine?
France
is renowned for producing the best wines around. Here, I will guide you
around the best places in France for producing superb quality wines -
many local vineyards will let you go and try their wines first, before
deciding to buy. But, be warned - you will get hooked!
