The French have fought a losing battle with the vineyards of California and suffered the indignity of having their elegant pommes frites renamed "Freedom Fries". Now they face a new challenge from America over their most highly-prized and aromatic delicacy.

The French have fought a losing battle with the vineyards of California AND the rest of the world. Today their fine wine is being bought by the EU (to keep from cutting production) and transformed into industrial alcohol!! Ah, the irony.
