Wine Protests in France
Filed under: Wine
It's time once again for angry French
winegrowers to take their
disgruntlement to the streets. Growers in the southern regions of Avignon, Beziers, Narbonne, Bordeaux and Nimes are
demanding that the government help out the floundering industry with a variety of measures from tax easements to special
loans. Paris spent more than $130 million in aid to the wine sector in 2005 alone. As wines from the U.S., South
America and Australia gain more of the market and French drinkers continue to consume less of their own wines, the
problem continues to plague the growers. According to Decanter,
the desperate situation, in which some growers have seen their income decline by 50%, has led to several suicides in
the region. It seems to be a problem that worsens every year and no real solution, beyond turning the wine into
industrial alcohol which is more of a stopgap at best, has been found.
