In 2004, exports to the U.S. plummeted 59% in value over the previous year. ...erm, yes - 2003 was quite a good vintage (albeit mixed) and 2004 was hmm. It is well known that US consumers tend to buy Bordeaux in the good vintages rather than just placing orders year in year out (the British model.) I would be _very_ interested in stats comparing US purchaes in 2004 to those in 2005 (which I suspect will _far_ surpass 2003 purchases.) Bottom line: this stat is rubbish, all it means is that US consumers are vintage-discerning (as they should be.) -- Blorg 23:11, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
There seem to be a couple of related articles, I don't know if they could all be merged into one big 'crisis in the French/EU/world wine industry'-type article. FlagSteward 11:54, 5 May 2007 (UTC)
- I oppose merging this with Bordeaux wine, but could approve of merging it with a wine industry crisis article. - Oreo Priest talk 15:21, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
