Argentine wines are good.... I will not buy Frog wines. They can stick their rotting grapes where the sun don't shine.

[TXBSAFH]

I love to hear frogs whine.

[Arrowhead1952]

French'e wines cost too much, and we have many domestic wines that are beating them in competition.

Let them buy some cheese to go with their whine.

Couldn't happen to a nicer country. Bwa Ha Ha !!!

Well, I, for one, am all broken up over this, and I urge the French Government to provide subsidies for these Winers. That'll fix the problem in no time flat!

(heh heh)

[the_devils_advocate_666]

I think I'll go my be a nice domestic vintage and celebrate this evening.l

The fact that the farmers are unionized tells us all we need to know about the state of agriculture over there.

I haven't touched French wine since I discovered the Pelee Island Winery.

Cheap French Whine

I would like to lend a hand to the frogs - let's bring all of our buried hereos home from France and build a national cemetary in Kansas or Nebraska that is located in the geographic center of America so we can all visit their graves rather than leave them in "enemy" territory.

We don't leave our dead in Iraq or Afghanistan why should we leave our dead in France, of all places?

Then the French can drink even more of their filthy wine because Americans will be drinking less of it.

Now here I was having a perfectly good day and I go and read a story about french winemakers going broke and now I'm in a deep dark funk. This is soooooo sad. NOT!

[Vinnie_Vidi_Vici]

The market is strong, it's the French wine that's weak!!!

[balk]

Now if we could just make progress on Evian water and Michelin tires...

[drpix]

Maybe after he finishes his monument, Ted Kennedy - France's favorite anti-American American - can move there with his Hollywood fellow travelers and drink them out of their problem. Long live socialism!

[caisson71]

It's been a long time since we bought French wine and do not miss it one bit. There are other sources of very good wine. I enjoy domestic wines the best.

[In The Crease]

Try Canadian wine from the Okanagan Valley in British Columbia. A very conservative, "red" area of Canada politically.

Too bad, so sad, for the frogs, but they do make a point: wine should not be demonized. Having a glass or two with a meal is just not the same thing as getting snockered at a kegger.

Overproduction is the problem for the producers here, and we've had the same thing in WA state. I can go to the local state liquor store and pick up some Arbor Crest Cliff House Red for less than seven bucks a bottle, it goes magnificently with a steak, or any red meat-based food. Our supermarkets are offering fairly deep discounts on the retail prices of many fine wines. Oversupply is a great thing for the consumer!
