Not that you needed any more argument that too much bureaucracy ruins business (and everything else), but here you go. What a headline: "How bureaucrats are wrecking French wine."
I had recently posted about the desperate French wine terrorists.
Hm, all this talk about French wine (and its ups and downs) makes me want to go see "Bottle Shock."

I don't see where the problem is:
STATE fairs are not known for high culture. Corn dogs, funnel cake—burst seams are made of these. But at Wisconsin’s state fair earlier this month, not too far from the racing pigs and the Cream Puff Pavilion, a genteel group sipped Wisconsin-made wine. The state’s industry is tiny but growing, from 13 wineries in 1995 to 41 last year, according to WineAmerica, a lobby group.
Wineries are cropping up in unexpected places. Some states, such as Wisconsin, import most of their grapes. Others have seen small farmers, seeking new hobbies and higher margins, grow their own. Many politicians are encouraging them, keen to boost tourism and rural economies. In 1975, 34 states had wineries. Now all 50 do.
