poor babies....Iraq, frictions with US, falling dollar, French government health campaign lowered their sales tremendously
(not to mention people like me discovering that Spanish, Italin, and Californian wines taste better and cost MUCH less, not to mention that Chilie, Australia and other "new world countries" stepping on their feet with a vengence)
and in the BEST Alex's tradition they now want French government compensate them for their losses....oh my!
;-)))
