LOL... I'll drink to that.... Special Update from NewsMax.com It's Working: France Wineries Reeling Under Boycott French wineries are withering as millions of Americans have begun a boycott of French wine and other French goods, the New York Times reported this week. The Times report, "A Most Unsettling Time for French Wineries," appeared on the cover of the World Business section of the paper. The paper reports: "So the threat of a boycott of French wines by Americans annoyed at the French position on Iraq is hard to take. And it could not come at a worse time for a struggling industry. Last year was a good year, but over all the industry is under siege." More: "[O]ne of the biggest Bordeaux wine merchants has faxed copies of The New York Post on his desk, sent by an American friend, with photos of French wines next to California and Australian wines, under the headline 'Just Say Non.' Over the non-French wines is printed 'Oui'; over the French wines 'Non.'" The boycott of French goods comes on the heels of France's effort to lead a worldwide coalition of nations to oppose the U.S. efforts to have the U.N. disarm Saddam Hussein's Iraq. Since the U.S. has led a military coalition to disarm Iraq, France has declared the action "illegal" and continues to stand with Iraq. NewsMax.com has been leading the campaign to boycott French goods.
