french wine boycott

[Kcwhippet]

Go ahead and drink up. I doubt you'll find any wines you're going to drink that have been fined with bovine blood. I did some searching and haven't found anything that about any person who's been affected by any wine in a manner that would indicate they've been infected with any malady related to mad cow disease. There have been reports that only nine (out of thousands) French wineries used cow albumen to fine their wines, in violation of the 1997 EU ban. All the wine from those wineries has been seized and absolutely none has reached the market, so there's just none out there on the shelves.
