A few weeks ago, I had to restock my wine reserves. I did NOT buy any French ones, which I normally do; but rather, doubled up on the Italian and American ones I buy.

What an insult that these morons think they can deck a monument in the Stars and Stripes and hire some has been pedophile and we'll just forget everything? Just who do these people think they're dealing with? It's an outrage.

Choice is a wonderful thing.Choosing Woody Allen as a spokesman is so absurd one suspects an intel agency of the US planted a mole for decision making!

How can this be? The foul-mouthed pus gut U.S. ambassador to France just insisted the other day that all economic repercussions from France's treachery during the Iraq war were completely history.

For my own part, if I want any lip from that moron, I'll rattle my zipper just remind him that the boycott is still going strong!

American and Australian winemakers can irrigate their vineyards to control the quality of their grapes, for example, or even mellow their wine by adding oak chips to the stainless steel tanks in which the wine is aged. But that is all illegal in France.

French vintners are at the mercy of the weather and if they want to make a mellower wine, they have to invest in expensive, new oak casks. The result is wine that varies in quality from year to year, an unpredictability that is prized by connoisseurs but is lost on the average consumer.

No wonder California wine tastes better year in and year out, and is cheaper to boot. Socialism at work.

Italian and California wines are just as good, anyway. And if California doesn't get its head out of its behind soon, we can boycott it, too, as there is no shortage of good wines to be had from elsewhere in the world.

"France is trying to repair the damage with a maladroit public relations campaign whose tagline is "Let's Fall In Love Again" and features a video in which the aging comedian Woody Allen talks about French kissing his young wife."

Should read "France is trying to repair the damage with a maladroit public relations campaign whose tagline is "Let's Fall In Love Again" and features a video in which the aging comedian Woody Allen talks about French kissing his young wife/daughter."

French boycott bump!

I'm still guffawing over the fact that they've hired Woody Allen as their spokesman. Yeah, that's a real attractive picture - old lech French-kissing his young wife. Sure that's a real marketing coup for the Frenchies!

I'd start drinking French wine, if the French Ambassador to the United States and Jacques Chirac put a short 30 second TV ad thanking the United States that they don't have to speak German.

Maybe France should do a better job of marketing their wares in Muslim countries, no?

Well, this article gave a rundown on the French wine industry's production woes, its regulation woes, and its merchandising woes.

But nary a word from all those quoted about the real frogs on their backs....Monsieurs Chirac, Villepin and other assorted arrogant socialist commie French leaders who made the dumb moves that harmed their own citizens.

Being raised on wine since childhood apparently has french-fried too many little grey cells of the frog populace. According to polls, 70-80% of them supported Chirac's anti-Americanism. So, as Marie Antoinette was purported to say, let them drink Coke.

The Paris Tourism Office said it would decorate the Champs Elysées with stars and stripes on July 4 and that many hotels in the capital would celebrate the American holiday.

Screw yourselves. That is not going to cut it.
