back in 2019.

muted laughter.

cork pops. to end this week, back in the french capital and taking some time out for a little tipple. whether you're mad for merlot or salivate over a sauvignon blanc, the city of love swoons for a glass of wine. as other countries have music orfashion, in france, you'll see a glass of wine on each table in any bistro or michelin star restaurant. imean, there i mean, there are paintings about— i mean, there are paintings about wine, they fought wars about — about wine, they fought wars about wine. it's worth 25 billion euro a year to the french economy, and then there were 5.5 billion bottles produced in france last year. but as bars and restaurants all over the world shut their doors, the pandemic forced loads of us to reassess our relationship with booze and explore more non—alcoholic alternatives. international sales of non—alcoholic drinks have

shot up by a quarter but in france, the growth has been slower, reportedlyjust 1r% in the same period. so, how do peruvians feel about alcohol free wine? i’zre so, how do peruvians feel about alcohol free wine?— alcoholfree wine? i've never tried it. alcoholfree wine? i've never tried it- i— alcoholfree wine? i've never tried it. i like _ alcoholfree wine? i've never tried it. i like wine, - alcoholfree wine? i've never tried it. i like wine, regular. tried it. i like wine, regular wine. tried it. i like wine, regular wine- i'm _ tried it. i like wine, regular wine. i'm used _ tried it. i like wine, regular wine. i'm used to - tried it. i like wine, regular wine. i'm used to that. - tried it. i like wine, regular wine. i'm used to that. i. tried it. i like wine, regular. wine. i'm used to that. i think we're losing — wine. i'm used to that. i think we're losing something. - wine. i'm used to that. i think we're losing something. you i we're losing something. you want — we're losing something. you want to— we're losing something. you want to feel— we're losing something. you want to feel the _ we're losing something. you want to feel the taste. - we're losing something. you want to feel the taste. it’s i want to feel the taste. it's not as fun. _ want to feel the taste. it's not as fun, either. - one man hoping to transform french attitudes is augustin. hello, ade! bonjour! last year, he set up what he says is paris's first shop entirely devoted to non—alcoholic drinks. do you get any snobbery? do you get people who come in and when they hear there's no alcohol, they're like, "what?! "what is this? !" yeah, at the beginning, some people were kind of making fun orjust laughing when they entered. but then, for us, it's not against alcohol because most of our customers, they're what we call �*flexi—drinkers,�* so they keep drinking alcohol

but they also, time to time, want to have a break. of course, you have all the pregnant women, the muslim people who never drink alcohol. actually, it came from my own story because i drink —— quit drinking during the pandemic. i don't like soda, i don't like very sweet beverages i was looking for other options. he's far from the first person to ride this trend. a few rounds of alcohol—free bars have opened up over the past few years all across the world. from 0% tokyo to sans bar in texas to the virgin mary in dublin. along with spirits and beers, augustin stocks two kinds of alcohol—free wine. the first is dealcoholised. it's fermented like a traditional wine before the alcohol is then removed. you'll see the smell is close, but then the lands in the mouth is different. you know what? that is so interesting.

so, i can taste the kind of familiarity and then, i'm waiting for the alcohol. but it hasn't arrived. it's like wine—light. the second kind doesn't involve fermentation and is more like a poshjuice. and this one is very good if you eat it with your meat or pasta. we've picked a particularly potent one made from... ..beetroot. it's busy. i don't think i'm ready for this one yet. but this is exactly what we see with our customers. so now, they are more looking into substitutes, so the alcohol i've wine, and we know in some years they may look for new recipes and new techniques and everything. but are parisians ready to embrace this new gastronomic experience? there's only one way for me to find out.

would you like to try some non—alcoholic wine? it's good, actually! i like it. i don't like it. idon't think it i tastes like wine. no, it's sweeter, i think. 0h! it's actually good! you like it? yes. wow! that's the dealcoholised wine. now, for the beetroot. not my case. it's more... more acidic? ..acid, yes. more acidic. it's...this one's bitter, but... i laughs. and whether they like the wines or not, most of the parisians we spoke to were at least open to alcohol—free alternatives. yes, because i'm not fond of alcohol. i prefer the taste. so, for you, it'sjust finding something that has the right taste? yes. and then it'll be a winner? yep. cork pops.

i'm not sure if the people of paris are quite ready to give up paris are quite ready to give up traditional winejust paris are quite ready to give up traditional wine just yet. but the idea of being able to have a couple of glasses without having a hangover the next day, i think it's pretty cool next day, i think it's pretty cool. well, that's your lot for this week. coming up next time— raaj is in the city of malaga as it marks 50 years since the death of its most famous son, the artist pablo picasso. you can see the _ the artist pablo picasso. you can see the influence - the artist pablo picasso. you can see the influence of- the artist pablo picasso. ii’fi�*l. can see the influence of the city on his art, it's very diverse and there is a lot going on. diverse and there is a lot going on-_ diverse and there is a lot rroin on. �* ., , ., going on. and we are in glasgow to reveal the _ going on. and we are in glasgow to revealthe hidden _ going on. and we are in glasgow to reveal the hidden story - to reveal the hidden story behind the uk's real national dish. which is not fish and chips, in case you were wondering. chips, in case you were wondering-— chips, in case you were wondering. have you any microphone _ wondering. have you any microphone or _ wondering. have you any microphone or have - wondering. have you any microphone or have ever| wondering. have you any - microphone or have ever told anyone outside the restaurant what's inside?— anyone outside the restaurant what's inside? ha. untilthen what's inside? no. untilthen ou what's inside? no. untilthen you know _ what's inside? no. untilthen you know how it works. you can find us on bbc iplayer as well as social media. we are on all the usual places along with

lots of other great travel content from around the bbc. see you soon. i buy. —— bye—bye. hello. the last day of march was an unsettled one across the southern half of the uk, plenty of showers, areas of heavy rain and strong winds but this area of low pressure will clear away during the first part of the weekend into the start of april, things becoming drier, brighter, more settled and we should start to see more sunshine on sunday. this area of low pressure has been pulling away to the new continent, picking the strong winds with about leaving a legacy of cloud, further showers on his front bringing rain to northern ireland, parts

of wales, south—western southern england, some heavy at times. further north, a lot of clout across north the coast but western scotland north west england thing the best of any clear skies to hear temperatures may take a tumble. for saturday we still have the area of low pressure pulling away slowly to the near continent, leaving a legacy of cloud across the country with a future rebirth the rain pushed in on is north—easterly wind, eastern scotland, eastern england staying great and cool. this weather front bringing further rain to northern ireland, but the south—west will fizzle during the day we could these guys tighten —— ritan a touch but it could be chilli compared to the last few days across north the coast with the onshore present further west hias of 11 or 12 or 13 degrees in the sunny spells across the south—west. as we head towards saturday night, it stays rather cloudy for most, the weather front should peter out and turn drier across northern ireland south west england and i think any rain across eastern england will also fizzle out so many

places dry, variable cloud, some clear spells, damages dipping 20 and seven celsius awake all night to come. for sunday there was a busy area of high pressure building in overhead, was if few isobars of the winds will be much lighter, it will be importing some slightly drier airfrom it will be importing some slightly drier air from the east so i think early on we should start to get any cloud that need to break up and then the sunshine will become abundant into the afternoon so much brighter part two of the weekend for much of the country away from northern scotland northern ireland a bit more clout here. despite the sunshine although it will feel warm in the sunshine still quite cool, 9—12. it's pretty reasonable for early april. then into next week it looks like high pressure continues to bring a lot of dry and unsettled weather at time weather front may bring some rain to the north of the west of the uk but turning milder as we move through the new week.
