A shadowy group in France has issued the French government with an unusual ultimatum: raise the price of wine or blood will flow.
The group's name is the Crav, which stands for Comité régional d'action viticole (Regional Committee of Wine Action).
The Crav's deadline to the government runs out this weekend, which marks exactly 100 years since wine-makers in the region led their last revolt.
That ended with the French army shooting dead six demonstrators.
No wine-maker will publicly admit to being part of Crav but many sympathise with their demands, if not with their methods.

It's always a "rapport de force"...
