Although we never made it to Tautavel (much too hot there in mid-September) I did spot the local wine in  a supermarket further west. It's a cracking Cotes de Roussillon, red of course, and one of the best bottles I've sampled for a long time. It's called Tautavellissime.

Any more wines with climbing related names?

Hangover E1 5b - virtually any wine taken in immoderation.

Nettle Wine (E5 6b)

Sounds ideal, but you'll have to brew your own

I once named a climb Corrida in honour of the wine that had caused us some damage. Our nickname for this wine was Corroda; we found it made quite a good toilet cleaner!

There is a wine from California called Boulders, it’s a bit more robust than than these French/ Spanish sport climbing wines

There's a purple wall in Pembroke with Chinon and Shiraz on it. I presume they're red wines?

Terre de Rosa, from Valle d'Aosta. The label has a nice drawing of the Monte Rosa East face, and it is among the best Petit Arvines I have tasted! Much cheaper as well than the equally good wines from the other side of the hill (unless I can blag some from my brother's in laws).
