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.

One bottle of wine tastes the same as another.

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.
