First stop is Germany, where guilt, terroir and riesling are on the menu.

In Hungary, the menu is on border fences, the EU's eastern enlargement, the right-wing nationalist party Jobbik and the sweet Tokai wine.

In France, EU enthusiasm and prime ministerial confessions are on the menu - and then it's harvest time in fashionable Burgundy.

In Spain, the Catalan winegrowers want to be independent at all costs, former Prime Minister José Maria Aznar, in return, wants to put down the rebellion. And in the middle of it all, 100-year-old vines stand calmly, as they always have.

As bartenders in a dingy pub, the two travelers get to the extent of explaining why the English want to leave the EU. On the wine side, the English also think they can manage without the EU - they have copied Champagne!
