Well, then we just just slap an extra $5/bottle tax on French wine.

Forget a tax- France and all of Europe perceive that all Americans are very rich.

Just refuse all imports of Frence wine, and any other country that gets on this bandwagon.
There is plenty of good wime produced here in America.

Whatever ... won't affect me in the slightest. I drink wine from the United States, Spain, Italy, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Argentina, South Africa.

One country is prominently NOT in that list ... whaddaya think of that, Jacques?

Not going to matter to a person like me who has a self-imposed lifetime ban against purchasing French wine. $5 tax, $10 tax, lowering the price by 90%, none of it will matter. Of course if someone else has bought it, I'll be happy to drink it. :-)

My parents & I only purchase US or Aussie wine anyways. Nothing like a cold 1.75mL of YellowTail shiraz.

Let's send lots of cheapskate, loud, rude tourists over there to annoy them.
And by the way, who actually gets the proceeds of these carbon taxes?
