Too much wine in France

[Zebra]

France plans to spend millions of euros to turn wine into industrial alcohol for pharmaceuticals and cosmetics to drain a massive surplus, the Agriculture Ministry said on Monday, February 6.

The world's second-largest wine producer after Italy, France has long been known as a nation of wine aficionados. But growers in the southwest region of Bordeaux say overproduction and a drop in domestic consumption of their more affordable brands have filled up their cellars and left them with nowhere to store the fruits of their next harvest.
