Sidi Brahim (wine)
Sidi Brahim is a range of branded wines produced in the Atlas mountains, first in Algeria, then in Morocco and now in Tunisia. The wines are blended and bottled or filled into bag-in-boxes in France, and are primarily sold there. It was the second-best selling foreign wine in France, behind Boulaouane (also a Castel brand), as of 2005. The production volume is around three million bottles annually. The wine has been named after the Battle of Sidi-Brahim (1845). The brand is currently owned by Groupe Castel, which acquired it (and Malesan) in 2003 from William Pitters, a company founded by Bernard Magrez. Magrez/Pitters in turn bought it in 1982. The label of the red wine bottle states that it is "harvested by hand since 1924". The grape composition of Sidi Brahim and the range of wines offered has varied throughout the years, but in 2010 the composition is indicated as the following: * Red wine: Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Syrah (30%), and Merlot (20%). * Rosé wine: Cinsaul ...

Sidi Brahim Barracks
Sidi Brahim Barracks (french: Caserne Sidi Brahim) is a former army barracks in Étain, France, just off highway N3 to Metz. The name Sidi Brahim comes from a tomb located in western Algeria near the Moroccan frontier. On September 21, 1845, a detachment of men from the 8th Chasseurs d'Orléans and some attached individuals fought a large force of Berber tribesmen twenty times their number near that location. The fight lasted 3 days as the French struggled to escape. In the end only a handful survived. The battle lent its name to their marching song and later to a French veterans' organization that sprung up. A barracks named after Sidi Brahim was located just blocks from the center of Étain. It was given this name in honor of the French ''Chasseurs à pied'' (french: light infantry) that were stationed there in 1913 and 1914 until shortly before the Germans arrived. In 1916 the battalion was commanded by one of the great heroes of the Battle of Verdun, Lieutenant Colonel ...
