#3 Australia and the US round out the top 5. France isn't even in the top ten. This adds up to the fallout from French opposition to the Iraq War.

#6 Kaping - the version I had on holiday was 15 Euros Rupees a bottle - but it looks like the same people. Good work!

#7 I suppose at £8.50 per bottle, that's not too bad then. You were paying a bit more on hols, IICC.

#8 IICC? Not going to spend a £100 on a bottle of wine, no way - now where's that Jacob's Creek?..

#9 If I Calculate Correctly. I just made it up.

It's actually £102.03 for a case. You get twelve bottles for your ton sterling. Not too bad really. That big figure just gave me the willies.

#14 I love, love, love Aussie wines. But I haven't had Jacob's Creek for a few years now. Why? They're owned by Pernod Ricard, a frog company.

#15 The problem with the top 10: they're all bad.

#19 Get back white folks, nothing wrong with Ripple. I make a special drink with it.
Mix my Ripple with Bacardi 151.
I call it Cripple.
