#4  Are we talking yield/area, or overall amount?

And does it have anything to do with that EU agriproject where they plowed up a number of vineyards, especially in France?

#2  Didn't France have such a glut of wine that they were distilling it into industrial alcohol? How's that gibe with this story?
