...pain caused by the glut is less acute in France than in Australia. But it also helps to explain why the French lost out so badly in export markets in the first place: their producers are bound by a plethora of strict rules. Unlike their Australian rivals, Bordeaux winemakers aren't free to grow as many grapes or make as much wine as they want; quantities are strictly limited. Moreover, they can't sell their wine as Merlot, or any other single grape variety - one of the most popular New World innovations. And under a regulation passed in the early...
...phone numbers and a time log of calls, they would have to get explicit permission from customers - the so-called opt-in approach - instead of the current opt-out method where they can largely do what they like with the information unless a customer expressly forbids it.Many private investigators aren't crazy about the bill either.

"It's almost like a Latin American economy, some very rich and some very poor. This could cause a revolution," worries Pierre Lurton, who runs two of the most exclusive properties, Château Cheval Blanc in the St. Emilion region and Château d'Yquem, the world-famous sweet white Sauternes. Back at Château Pontet-Canet, Tesseron sits down...
...thoughtful moderate," which she said makes her an "endangered species." She stressed the number of times she has disagreed with her President and her party leadership, but she acknowledged that she is carrying the weight of their unpopularity. "We heard a lot of names tonight. Most of them aren't on the ballot," Pryce said. This could be the year when the most shopworn electoral cliche could be turned upside down. In one Ohio district at least, it may turn out that no politics is local...
