All the climatic conditions have been perfectBut, but, I thought global warming was going to cause drought and floods worldwide.
Seriously, we'll know in a few weeks if low prices cause more riots and bombings again this year among the socialist French growers.

Hmm. This wine glut has been going on for a while now.
Oh, well. Supply and demand.

Wine is probably one of the few things not taxed to death in France. When I visited, I was surprised at all the $1 and $2 bottles of good wine.

French wines have become as unnecessary as the French themselves...
The "real deal" can be had without going to France -- for wine and allies.

I think the French are starting to come to the realization that no thanks to their non-support on the War on Terror, Americans are now turning big time to wines in Portugal, Italy, Australia and from US domestic production. The only French wineries that will survive are those who specialize in expensive, high-end wines that sell for over US$40 per "fifth" (750 ml) bottle.

We're in for a global wine glut in the next few years.

Goodness, when I drank, expensive French wine was never a consideration. I preferred the big boxes of the least expensive wine I could get. I went for quantity, not quality. Priorities.

I would drink French wines if their prices were even comparable to what one can buy now.

I do love buying cheap french wine... it is a lot like buying cheap Mexican Carnitas from the taco stand. All the pleasure without the hit to the wallet.
Viva the third world nations.

Maybe a new Bordeaux appellaton is in order... Something like 'Le Grand Bush' since his global warming drove just the right conditions for two years in a row.
