I wouldn't buy a bottle of French wine if it was the last wine on earth. They can stuff it where the sun don't shine!

Here in my area, there are still mom & pop stores with signs in the window saying they don't stock French cheese, wines, or other products. It's been that way since shortly after Sept. 11th.

Me too. The news media was more than happy to thumb their noses at 'Freedom Fries' and portray boycotters of French products as deranged rednecks. Who's laughing now?

I wonder also if the law says this wine ethanol cannot be used in war machines. Oh, that's right, they don't have any war machines.

I feel sick to the heart, said Farges, from Mauriac. The source of his melancholy is a European Union-funded process in which some of the quality red wine he produces will be distilled into undrinkable ethanol for use as factory fuel. The deadline for participating in the scheme is Bastille Day, a cruel irony. Farges has already sent in his forms."
Yet another Frenchman surrenders without a fight.

Anything bottled after April 1986 should be drained. Chornobyl fixed all that...
