Want to celebrate XM 25 in style?

Selling off one (or bits :o) of your XM collection, or perhaps searching for those elusive headlight washer covers? This is the place to do it.

Wow! Was this originally served at the Montecarlo launch I wonder? Quite a fun thing to have.

I looked at the video, but the brief shots of wine bottles look different, but they could have been the vin blanc, rather than the rouge.

This particular wine is a "Puy Galion", which as far as I can tell from googling and checking some wine guides, is not the name of a producer or appellation, but a name used by a négociant for private label " special event" wine bottles from the mid 80s until the early 90s. This could tie in with the XM launch. The wine itself is a Bordeaux of unknown quality.
