I love wine.
It's a wonderful, delicious, pleasurable wine.
drink.
I drink it as often as I can.
I think the first article I saw was full of these charts showing that the amount of wine we were drinking was going up even as the amount of wine that was being produced was going down and that the inevitable consequence was that there just wouldn't be enough wine to go round.
I think that most of the news stories didn't even read the report.
They just read the headline which said global wine shortage and then they said global wine shortage and they just copy and pasted the numbers from the report into their little scary
Ready, Set, Panic articles and that was the end of all of the reporting they did.
I can put you all at ease.
You can stand down.
You don't need to stock up on wine for the next five years because there's no global wine shortage.
there actually was a little bit of a shortage between the years of 2007 and 2012.
One thing they did was they stopped the graph in 2012.
If you just did a little bit of a check on this, you would find that no one believed this report.
Everyone who went out into the wine industry and said, is there a wine shortage, kind of shrugged and said, what are you talking about?
And if you went down to Spain or France, you would find a lot of vineyards which were for sale for less than the cost of
planting the vines.
So you could buy the land plus all of the vines for less than it would cost to just plant the vines, which is a pretty good on the face of it evidence that there's no shortage of wine at all, that the price of wine producing land is actually incredibly low.
I love wine it's a wonderful delicious pleasurable
drink.
