I would say the decline in demand at least has the potential of allowing producers to gain more leverage in regard to quality of fruit, which would be no bad thing. Now I'd like to see prices reflect the drop in demand! As Andrew Jefford has pointed out, there has always been war between the growers and the producers in Champagne.

If they won't put them to use, shouldn't they at least give them away to the public? In this situation, I'd be interested to see a top winery crowdsource its unused grapes.

I've been trying to keep track of the wine recession's short term and long term effects on The Wine Economist, most recently in this post http://wineeconomist.com/2009/08/30/wine-recession-winners-losers/ BTW, Tyler, I'm using your book in my class this fall.
