Argentine wines are good.... I will not buy Frog wines. They can stick their rotting grapes where the sun don't shine.

I love to hear frogs whine.

[Arrowhead1952]

French'e wines cost too much, and we have many domestic wines that are beating them in competition.

Let them buy some cheese to go with their whine.

Pssst . . . does that include french kissing? Or should we rename it freedom kissing so we can still do it? lol

[dennisw]

I eat French toast and French fries. Other than that I refuse to eat (drink) anything French.

Well, I, for one, am all broken up over this, and I urge the French Government to provide subsidies for these Winers. That'll fix the problem in no time flat!

The fact that the farmers are unionized tells us all we need to know about the state of agriculture over there.

I haven't touched French wine since I discovered the Pelee Island Winery.

There is a great Argentine wine called Gato Negro. Most all Argentine wines are good, but they are even better with a great steak right off the parilla. Forgot your trips to Paris. Buenos Aires has it all at a fraction of the cost and with no eurotrash there to put you in a bad mood and ruin your trip!

Cheap French Whine

I would like to lend a hand to the frogs - let's bring all of our buried hereos home from France and build a national cemetary in Kansas or Nebraska that is located in the geographic center of America so we can all visit their graves rather than leave them in "enemy" territory.

We don't leave our dead in Iraq or Afghanistan why should we leave our dead in France, of all places?

Then the French can drink even more of their filthy wine because Americans will be drinking less of it.

Now here I was having a perfectly good day and I go and read a story about french winemakers going broke and now I'm in a deep dark funk. This is soooooo sad. NOT!
