There is apparently a book, "Wine at War" by Kladstrup:
"For WWII buffs, but even more for wine geeks, this book contains
fascinating accounts of French vintners
during the war and how they dealt with the Nazi occupation. You will be
amazed to read about names that
are very well known in the wine world today. Who was looted. Who managed
to deal with the invaders.
Who built false walls in their cellars to hide their most precious
bottles. Who went to jail or a camp. Who
never came back. Who was in the resistance. Who mislabelled their plonk
with the dates and designations
of grand vintages. Who got caught. Stories about various Nazis, the
Vichy government, various plots, and
all manner of characters, are really fascinating, and give a real human
glimpse into that horrible time. "
There are several on eBay, including 230174558643.
Strange,
