There were huge numbers of containers off the coast of Cliquot, Dom, Bollinger, Perrier, etc. sitting and waiting to go through customs.

Fascinating info--you always have the best inside info for these threads!

Actually I was told by various state wine distributors (who I bought from) that they had NONE - yet they had ordered their imports way ahead of time and delivery dates were not met.

Well as wine buyers you have a finite time frame and limited budget, you're planning events so the monies just went somewhere else. You're not going to be caught flat-footed on the job. It would be foolish to promise a party a particular wine (Champagne) if you didn't already have it on premise or earmarked at the distributor warehouse.
