(Telegraph) - France's wine capital Bordeaux has been struck by spate of binge drinking drownings in its river Garonne, with five young men dying in the past ten months. The southwestern French city famed for world-beating grands crus like Chateau Margaux or Chateau Latour is in shock, raising questions on how the alcohol abuse can be tackled without tainting its global wine reputation. The victims – in their twenties – all fell from the newly refurbished river banks that run through the city centre into the icy waters of the Garonne after a night of heavy drinking. The latest victim, Julien Teyssier, 25, was pulled out of the river on May 11 after disappearing without trace on the night of April 28.
