I am in Charente-Maritime, we have fields for Cognac and Pineau making, but we are also close to the Blaye region.
I do not know where they go but I had read it at one time,but I forgot the name of the company. I will ask around.

You must be in Cognac
Charente.
But this is exciting because this could be an industry which could be enhanced.
Where abouts in Bordeaux does it all go to....DO YOU KNOW?
Barbara, the skins of grapes are loaded with polyphenols an antioxidant, they are anti aging and the seeds are also full of polyphenols, they are used to make an oil that is absorbed by the skin very fast and is non greasy, it is also used in the cosmetics industry.
In our area, farmers who produce pineau or wines pile up, at the edge of the roads, seeds and skins of raisins, big trucks come and haul it away to Bordeaux to make beauty products.
