Bordeaux bloodbath! France pays winemakers to dig up vines

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:21:05 GMT

Even the nectar of the gods is susceptible to climate change and the craze for craft beer.Winemakers in the prestigious Bordeaux region are set to uproot thousands of hectares of vineyards as altered consumer habits and global warming hit one of the crown jewels of the French agricultural industry.Given Bordeaux’s flagship status in the public’s mind, this might seem surprising.

The Long Island Bridge carried the weight of those in need for more than 60 years and it’s our hope that the island will once again serve as the sanctuary it’s meant to be,” Walsh said.Quincy fought it every step of the way, delaying the project.Imagine if the plan to rebuild the bridge had gone through back then. Even allowing for a few years for construction and fixing up the facilities on the island, we would ...
