It's hard to figure how the Frenchies can make a profit at that price.

Weak dollar against the euro, plus the French make a LOT of wine.

Weak dollar against the euro

You've got it backwards. That makes our exports cheaper over there, and their exports (like wine) more expensive over here.

That much is true. Sky-high, subsidized production, in the face of declining demand = Cheap wine!
