Fun Facts: C'est Pas La Mer à Boire literally translates to "It's Not The Ocean to Drink". The term implies that a task or favor isn't asking too much of the other person. In this case it becomes a double entendre in the sense that the wine is Loïc's most structured but still pleasant and goes down easy.
