Pinard (wine)

Pinard is a French term for wine (particularly red wine), popularised as the label for the ration of wine issued to French troops during the First World War. The term became wrapped up in the public conception of the poilu ("hairy one", the typical French foot soldier) and his beloved pinard, joined in a "cult of wine".
