French wines are too expensive, and not as good as California wines.

"Thousands of winemakers have staged protests in the streets of France"

If you had treated the USA better in the past maybe you wouldn't have to be running around in the streets today. You could instead be working overtime to keep up with production.

Viva la France Boycott!

If you look at the start of the "war on terrorism" and the lack of French support and the boycott of French wine by Americans; I think you will find a very peculiar parallel. LOL

Not blowing a Texas horn, but screw the "f"rench, and their wine. Go grab a bottle of Merlot from Texas. IMO, the majority of US wines taste better than anything the "f"rench have on the market (MD20/20 being the exception , of course). Support what we have here. Buy local!

winemakers ... staged protests ... to demand government help

Sounds like a strategy for losing more sales.

For some reason, I can't help but picture those two anti-freeze adding French wine-makers who exploited Bart Simpson.

Screw 'em! ;^)

My favorite is now "Quinta De Chocopalha". In comparison, it makes french wine taste like the french smell.

I'd drink Boone's Farm Wine over any over priced French Swill.

I guess the frog strategery of marketing their wine to Islamic radicals isn't going so well....

Hahahahahaha. What is French for "Tough s---"?

I have many Jewish friends who have been boycotting French wines for months due to the government's tolerance of escalating anti-semitism. I can't remember the last time I had any French wine. Haven't missed it, either.

Here is a great source for California wines:

"They blame over-production, shrinking exports..."

But do they know WHY their exports are shrinking?

Because they're such @ssholes, and we're tired of supporting them?

I'm not a wine expert, and I don't play on on TV, but I like certain wines. Rhine wine has always been my absolute favorite. Served cold, it is the best with a feast like Thanksgiving and Christmas. We found a plum wine near our cabin in Wisconsin that is superb with the ham Easter feasts. Last Easter we brought a case of this to a family Easter feast and there wasn't a drop left after dinner. Then, of course, there are the old classics, Wild Irish Rose, MD 20/20, Ripple, Boone's Farm, and the old standard Kickin' Chicken (99 cents a half a gallon).

Hell, I'm a beer drinker, and a bourbon every once and a while. They can keep their snooty scotch, I'll take a American bourbon every time. A good vodka martini will light my fire as well.

Having been in Europe I can tell you that I found the french wine less to my taste than German, Spanish, and Italian wines. They really kind of sucked. There is an interesting thing about Cognac. After WWII the Germans started making Cognac and they do it better than the french. That really pissed off the frogs. If you want good American Cognac Wisconsin is the place to go.

I ain't drinking any wine made by people who smell like the French surrender monkeys. For similar reasons, I don't drink out of urinals.
