I thought they grew grapes.
My grandfather grew up in Rutherford (Napa Valley) and his family grew "prunes" and "raisins". When I asked him about calling the crops that (vs. Plums or grapes) he explained to me that crops are often referred to by what they are grown for and not what the fruit actually is.
I recognize that you are making a joke, but I wonder if the headline writer is doing the same thing as what my grandfather is referring to.
BRAVO! It irked the hell out of me too but, JimRob does not allow title changes. Should read: French Grape Growers In Crisis
