Britons sniff at French wines
Mon dieu! No more weasel juice for dear old Blighty...The British are losing their taste for French wines, turning instead toward New World offerings from Australia, South Africa or California, according to a marketing survey cited Friday by the Independent. Indeed, not a single French wine ranked among the ten best-selling labels in Britain in the first part of this year. Just 15 years ago, all ten wines on the list were from France and other countries in continental Europe. Australia unseated France in 2002 as the single largest source of imported wine to Britain.
