It has caused you to buy some of Quevedo’s Finest Unfiltered Reserve. Surely that was part of the mission of this website.

I can't deny this. But I feel that was collateral, somehow accidental. And so much else has simply gone by the wayside...

Pay attention.
Clues so far:
I was 16.
I was in France.
But where, and why?
The answer is closer than you might think.

You never admitted that you were in France. You said you were celebrating Bastille Day. You've given the game away.
Were you on a French exchange?

I gave clues that I was in France. The explicit statement was merely a summary, but isn't the answer. I need the town and the reason.
Not an exchange.

Not school, but an organised trip with a school-linked institution. Paris too far east and too far north.

Médoc too far north, and slightly too far west. Not a vineyard, but a place where wine is put to an unusual use.

Perhaps you went to a Roman Catholic school and this was a church trip to Albi to see the former seat of the Pope?

I'm going to give it to this.
I was one of a group of youth volunteers who accompanied a number of pilgrims to Lourdes in order to pull them around in rickshaws, carry them of stretchers and generally be helpful around the hospital. That was the principle reason for the trip, but JDAW's "Calais" answer was also partly true
Daniel's turn...

Actually it's been far too long since I opened a bottle of VP. It's all been LBV and reserve. This is a situation I am unimpressed by (by which I am unimpressed).
How about "what question am I eventually going to ask..?"
Sorry, was introducing a film and doing a Q&A in the cinema today so haven't had a chance to prepare a question.
Oh here's one! What island was the filmmaker whose films I introduced today born on? (She died there too.)
