Westeros wine is a win-win for French vineyard
Cashing in on the Games of Thrones TV series has landed a Gironde vineyard a slap on the wrist and free publicity.

Vignobles Bardet took tasting details of the wines from TV’s Westeros to create The Dornish Wine and The Imp’s Delight and buyers loved them.
Series maker HBO praised their efforts but asked them to halt production as it breached copyright.
However, they did allow Bardet to sell remaining stocks.
