Cripes send them to the UK, they suck down alcohol like its air.

The French finance ministry last week announced that wine exports to the US — the second-biggest export market for French wines after Germany — had fallen by 44 percent in value from October to November.

Always the little guy gets screwed in a trade war. I'm sorry French wine producers are suffering because the EU is trying to flex their economic muscles.

I hope the wine producers focus their anger on the EU for playing stupid games.

Frexit anyone?

Europe is toast. Wine is a secondary or derivative spend. Been drinking Daou cabernet from Paso Robles for the past two years. Only time I miss the French is during Beaujolais nouveau, which kicks off the holiday season.

Britain better stand strong, because they were right to divorce themselves from dying economies. Britain’s sparkling wine are every bit as good as Champagne, with the exception of some vintage chateaus.

Germany’s Mittelstand is dying.

Makes sense to me. If politicians can take money from taxpayers and give it to Airbus, they can take money from taxpayers and give it to Big Wine. Problem solved. Hallelujah.

I wonder if taxpayers will ever catch on that they are being bribed with their own money.

Nahhhhh.
