In fact, I have my doubts as to whether Bordeaux Mixture will be of any
use with botrytis (grey mould).


Hmmm, I've just checked in one of my German books on viticulture
(Weinbau by Vogt & Götz, 1979) - "Copper, and many of the hitherto
organic, fungicides are not effective or, at least, not completely
effective, against botrytis." Of course, Bordeaux Mixture is based on
copper.
