The source of his melancholy is a European Union-funded process in which some of the quality red wine he produces will be distilled into undrinkable ethanol for use as factory fuel.

If this isn't an example of bureaucracy gone mad nothing is. Those of you who experience shadenfreude because this is happening to some Frenchman won't be so gleeful when our Washington elite decide to follow the enlightened EU example here.

Some of our Washington elite HAVE decided to follow the enlightened EU example here. And We on FR have decided to fight them on it. One of the elitists just lost the national election for president, and the another one is looking for young babes (never mind that he's married). And one of these, I presume, by himself drinks enough French wine--any wine--to make up for those millions of bottles destined to become fuel.
