They sell very decent stuff there, but it's 2 Euro's a litre, so if you have a top-box or tank bag you should be able to fit a plastic "virac" in. Red, white or rose is really drinkable, although all the locals mostly drink rose in the summer.
FM - I'm in your neck of the woods about 2nd/3rd June with a couple of mates en route to Millau and points North via Agde (having ferried to Santander 31st May).
Any advice where to stay in the Carcasonne area?
It's about 30m from Carcassonne, but this place comes highly recommended.

and the D117 is an absolutely cracking road to ride on - especially the hairpins on the way down to Quillan

Yes, that's a plan. PM me when you are coming over, and your mobile number and let's meet up. Planning the same with mango too. And Nooj when he comes down, and maybe Chabby....

Suits me sir
BTW - if you fancy a nice ride out - try the coast road from Collioure in France, down to Cadaques in Spain - but do it before Easter, when all the German motorhomes will be clogging up the route.
when you get to Cadaques - turn left for the Dali museum at Port Lligat - well worth spending an hour their for yer lunch
