Suprising - I love Coteaux du Languedoc, and would never describe it as "low quality," although it isn't all that "refined" and it's mother-of-all-barnyard/country-wines style might offend those with delicate palates. But who cares? That just means more barnyardish monsters for the rest of us. What do people think of Salento Rosso then?

Of course, you are drinking Languedocs that some importer thought good enough to carry. :)
