"STOP. Danger. Presence de gaz carbonique (vin nouveau en fermentation). Interdit au personnes seule er etrangere au service" Warning about the carbonic gases from the fermentation. Person not allowed to enter alone! It is a real danger in underground cellars: the carbon dioxide from the fermentation has no smell so you can actually die from suffocation if there is too much carbon dioxide in the cellar! |
