I've read this article before and I have to disagree in that, while warmer temps may help wine, too much rain will hurt it.. If the trends of 'global warming' are true, we'll have much more rainfall in the Northern Hemisphere.. Where this may help is the Northern Italian wines that have a shorter growth season. It will drastically hurt the Alsace regional wines, such as Gewurztraminer and Riesling that get much of their sweetness from cold weather bursts..

Anyone who would drink French anything needs to move to that country or to Iran.
But then we allow the French to supply the rocket fuel for the Space Shuttle so who cares give your money to the French and they can give it to the terrorist.

Everything about Global Warming is silly. I thought we had established that Global Warming was actually making Europe colder.

Farms and wineries are not the French government. France, in many ways, is like California. Region by Region, most of the Country is 'red', but for the highly populated areas of Paris and Lyon (and Normandy coast), it is mostly conservative..
This map is a different vote (EU membership) but it is very similar to the political breakdown of those who voted Chirac versus conservative candidates.

At $40 a bottle of .75L french wine it may be be a bargain
but you can get decent California wines in a 5 Liter box for $10-15.
5 Liters of the french wine would cost about $266. It may be
a little better but is it 25 times better?

I find myself looking carefully at labels wherever I'm shopping. If it says France, I won't buy it. If it says Denmark, I buy it. Any products.

2003 Domaine Louis Moreau Chablis "Les Clos," Chablis Grand Cru2003 M. Chapoutier "La Bernardine," Chateauneuf-du-Pape
Those are some really great, great wines. Too bad they can't be replicated somewhere else. They are unique.

I'm disappointed there's no Pouilly-Fuisse listed. But glad quantim has recommend the 'Nuff do bop!'
I've been looking for a wonderful red I had at a huge tasting, and was told it 'must' be a 'nuff do bop.' Pardon my Texanisms, but I really do pronounce correctly!
;o)

Also Chateau De Beaucastel is another fantastic Chateauneuf-du-Pape producer. And both of these producers also make a fabulous lesser known white Chateauneuf-du-Pape.
