Of all the wine regions in the world, Burgundy has been doing the best.
It's smaller than Bordeaux and highly coveted by wine aficionados.
In Napa and Bordeaux, the mood is tenser.
I toured Chateau Angelus, a revered winery in Saint-Émilion in the Bordeaux region.
Stephanie de Bois-Rivois is the president and CEO.
She told me that wine is on the heart and mind of health officials who say no amount of alcohol is safe.
She strongly disagrees with wine being so villainized.
um when I hear sometimes wine is put in the
uh limited to alcohol
Today, Bordeaux and Napa are both experiencing economic crises and are at a turning point, but their suffering has different causes.
Bordeaux produced a bubble of too much wine that was sold for the wrong reasons to the wrong clients.
Chinese buyers had great thirst for Bordeaux's prestige labels until Xi Jinping cracked down on corruption and lavish gifts, and sales sputtered.
That left winemakers who had been raising prices vulnerable to a collapse in demand.
Napa's winemakers are feeling pinched for different reasons.
In recent decades, they doubled down on the American market, selling to baby boomers at high prices rather than prioritizing a global footprint.
But they are buying and drinking less.
And now Napa's most important international market, Canada, has dried up after most of its provinces banned American alcohol in retaliation for tariffs.
Sales of American wine there fell nearly 80% in 2025.
In addition, the cost of doing business in California, like France, is hangover-inducing.
So is the red tape.
