By Daily Mail Reporter PUBLISHED: 13:30 EST, 25 May 2012 | UPDATED: 03:11 EST, 26 May 2012 A British winemaker has accused the French of trying to pass off their wine as British by wrapping it in a Union Jack. Bob Lindo has written to Home Secretary Theresa May to vent his anger over the scam to trick foreigners into buying a ‘British’ souvenir when they come to watch the Olympics or Queen’s Jubilee celebrations. Mr Lindo, who owns the Camel Valley vineyard at Wadebridge, Cornwall, forced the World Duty Free shop at Gatwick Airport to remove a sign heralding French champagne as the ‘Best of British’ following an incident on Tuesday night.
