The Financial Times reported this morning that Chirac wants a summit with Bush to help mend relations. This couldn’t come at a better time for the Bordeaux wine makers.

Export data out today reveal that while Bordeaux wine exports fell in volume and in value across the board, the US saw the sharpest decline with a
staggering 35% deline in volume and a 59% decline in value.

Yikes. Millennium hangover. It’s definitely time for a summit — and some PR?!
