Wine, what are saving it for?

[Thomas]

My understanding is that even in Europe -- in France and Italy, of all places -- the younger generation turns away from wine. France is losing wine drinkers by the minute, which bodes well for those of us here who need to find decent bargains.

I suppose, being a 50 plus person, I should say "who cares" and go along drinking what I like and can afford, but having been a wine salesman and producer, I can't break the habit of trying to get more people to drink wine.

And let's not forget that while we talk of bringing in new wine drinkers, the government and the neo-drys are out there plugging away at closing all the entry passages.
