Together, these supplied some 40% of French wine production. Haut Languedoc, and more particularly the <a href="/wiki/Biterrois" class="mw-redirect" title="Biterrois">Biterrois</a> and Béziers, proclaimed themselves to be "The World Capital of Wine" and grew rapidly. Great fortunes were made. Large landowners, coming from industry, finance or the liberal professions, gained possession of immense vineyards. </p><p>There was also a growing foreign competition, with smuggled wines appearing on the market. The fraudsters remained unpunished. In 1892, the winegrowers of the Midi demanded "The restoration and enforcement of customs duties". But the market remained partly held by wines made from imported dried grapes (such as grapes from <a href="/wiki/Corinth" title="Corinth">Corinth</a>), and wines called "wet" (adulterated with water). Though the vintners attached great importance to this unfair competition, in fact it did not represent more than 5% of the market.<sup class="noprint Inline-Template Template-Fact" style="white-space:nowrap;">[<i><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed"><span title="This claim needs references to reliable sources. (July 2020)">citation needed</span></a></i>]</sup> </p><p>On 12 May 1907, no less than 150,000 protesters gathered in Béziers with the declared aim of "Defending the Southern Viticulture". The crowd spilled into Paul-Riquet and the Champ-de-Mars. The slogans on the banners Proclaimed: "Victory or death! Enough of talking, the time has come for action! Death to fraudsters! Bread or death! Live by working or die fighting!". </p><p>The demonstrators, who came from more than 200 communes, were joined by numerous Biterrois employees and shopkeepers. The event ended with speeches on the Place de la Citadelle, (now Place Jean-Jaurès). the Speakers included <a href="/wiki/Marcelin_Albert" title="Marcelin Albert">Marcelin Albert</a> who issued an ultimatum to the government, demanding that it raise the price of wine, <a href="/wiki/Ernest_Ferroul" title="Ernest Ferroul">Ernest Ferroul</a> who advocated tax refusal and the Béziers Mayor Émile Suchon, (close to <a href="/wiki/Georges_Clemenceau" title="Georges Clemenceau">Clemenceau</a>), who took a stand in support of the winegrowers' struggle. There were some minor incidents during the dispersal of the demonstrators. </p><p>On 16 May, the Béziers municipal council, of Radical and Socialist tendency, resigned. The pressure of the street continued. The police station and the town hall façade were set on fire. Alerted, <a href="/wiki/Georges_Clemenceau" title="Georges Clemenceau">Georges Clemenceau</a> decided to launch a counterattack. The 17th regiment of line infantry, composed of reservists and conscripts, was on his orders transferred from Béziers to <a href="/wiki/Agde" title="Agde">Agde</a> on 18 June 1907. </p><p>On the evening of 20 June, learning of the <a href="/wiki/Narbonne" title="Narbonne">Narbonne</a> shooting, about 500 soldiers of the 6th company of the 17th regiment mutinied, plundered the armory and headed for Béziers. They traveled about twenty kilometers by night. On 21 June, in the early morning, they arrived in town. They were warmly welcomed by the Biterrois, "fraternizing with the demonstrators, and peacefully opposing the armed forces". The soldiers sat down on the Allées Paul Riquet and the population offered them wine and food. </p><p>The South was on the brink of insurrection. In <a href="/wiki/Paulhan,_H%C3%A9rault" title="Paulhan, Hérault">Paulhan</a>, the railway was taken out of commission by protesters who stopped a military convoy sent to quell the mutineers. In <a href="/wiki/Lod%C3%A8ve" title="Lodève">Lodève</a>, the sub-prefect was taken hostage. The military authorities were not ready to accept this mutiny, apprehensive that the example of the 17th regiment would give similar ideas to other regiments in the region. </p><p>In Paris, the Republic trembled, as Clemenceau had to face a vote of no confidence. However, he survived by letting the military command urgently negotiate with the mutineers. In the afternoon, after obtaining a guarantee that no sanctions will be imposed on them, the 17th soldiers put down their arms and marched to the station under escort, without any major incident. On 22 June, they returned by train to their barracks. Clemenceau announced the end of the mutiny and gained a parliamentary vote of confidence by 327 votes to 223. </p><p>On 23 June, a law was finally passed, which repressed the massive <a href="/wiki/Chaptalisation" class="mw-redirect" title="Chaptalisation">chaptalisation</a> of the wines. </p><p>Negotiations and the scale of the movement prevented collective punishment: the mutineers of the 17th were assigned to <a href="/wiki/Gafsa" title="Gafsa">Gafsa</a> (<a href="/wiki/Tunisia" title="Tunisia">Tunisia</a>), a place where soldiers were often sent for "disciplinary companies", but these soldiers remained outside this framework, and were under ordinary military status. There was therefore no penal sanction for the revolt of the 17th, contrary to the legend that developed on this subject. However, during the <a href="/wiki/First_World_War" class="mw-redirect" title="First World War">First World War</a>, haunted by their reputation as deserters, many of them were sent to the front line, particularly in the bloody assaults of 1914. </p><p>The mutiny of soldiers of the 17th has remained in historical memory, especially with the words of <a href="/wiki/Mont%C3%A9hus" title="Montéhus">Montéhus</a>' anti-militarist song "Gloire au 17", with the refrain: "Salute, salute to you / Brave soldiers of the seventeenth...." </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="20th_century">20th century</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=B%C3%A9ziers&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: 20th century"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Before 1963, the wine is the only way to get money in the area.
