Dear Lizzie: I have NO IDEA why ANYONE would buy French wines anymore. Even before all of this California and some Australian wines to my palate are just as good and often much better and at far cheaper prices. Snob appeal is all thats left for France, sort of an EMPTY SHELL like their leader. jdn

You are overpaying! Well, not all wines are equal. Truly, I don't really know what I am paying for wines these days. Wine prices have plummeted but this is certainly not typical of wines and typical is what I am getting at. The point is, wine or milk or almost any other liquid we consume has traditionally been a lot more expensive than gasoline and yet a unit of gas provides quite a lot of work. Even at $2 a gallon it seems a deal to me. Surely I would like it to be .50 a gallon. Heck, I'd like it to be free. But $2 gallon gas will not cause me to take to the streets in protest. It will not cause me to stay home or anything like that.
