I wonder why they left out the fact that nobody wants to drink wine produced by cheese eating surrender monkeys.

The same froggies who complain about our protection of the steel industry are doing it for their own 'sacred' industry. Frankly, I'm not a big fan of tarriffs/protection, but it's interesting now that the shoe is on the other foot.

Wonder if there will be an WTC complaint filed by U.S., Chile, Spain, Argentina, Australia, Italy, etc.

French whine? Isn't that stuff used as a drain cleaner by now? California, Australia, etc. makes much better wine and doesn't leave an aftertaste like French wine always has....for me anyway.

sharply declining consumption in France

hmmmm....could this be caused by the growing anti-alcohol Muslim population?

California and Chilean wines are far better anyway. If I want to buy something from the European continent I opt for the Spanish wines. Maybe when a premium Chataneuf du Pape gets down to $5 per bottle I'll start sampling. I hope the grape farmers of France hang Chirac from the Arch de Triumph.
