No spraying for these vineyard pests

Wines & Vines, Jan, 2003

> A recent wine-related search on eBay turned up a bizarre and hilarious movie offering, "The Grapes of Death: AKA Les Raisins de la Mort." In this 1978 French horror flick produced by cult filmmaker Jean Rollin, a dangerous grape pesticide turns wine country residents into "insane zombie killers." (We're not naming names, but we think this may have actually happened in certain parts of Napa.) in addition to its timely plot, the seller praises the movie for its "plentiful nudity and violence." All this for only $4.99! Last time we checked, the DVD version had nine bids--better grab it while you still can.
