The price of champagne and decent cheese would drop even
lower.

French wine is all from California vines and we can't buy
French cheese.


And the Californian vines came from where originally?

I've tried that stuff they sell as 'domestic champagne' in
the USA, including the stuff made by Mumm, which chemical
plant makes it?

Not being able to buy French cheese is a cruel and unusual
punishment...

IIRC the plants came from Tuscany along with all those little
ole winemakers that dotted the California countryside. The
French and their grapes stayed home to prepare for the Franco
Prussian War and WW1.


Italinans in the Central Valley funded a civil war against the railroads,
with their wine. They are the Dalton brothers.

I thought the adultration of wines to be sold at top prices was
a French art. There certainly have been enough Frenchmen caught
at it lately.


A little anti-freeze, perhaps?
