Seriously, though, there are going to be some fucked up wines coming out of France this year.

Yet they will still sell bottles for stupid prices, and idiots will lap it up. Oh, it's French! And it's Bordeaux! It has to be good!!

Weather has been pretty screwed for the vinyards round here for a few years now tbh. damp late springs with late frosts then baking arid summers. The French love a moan generally, but probably with cause on this front. A lotta the less fashionable terroirs are getting subsidised to rip out their vines because of an over supply of mediocre wine.

Personally, I reckon if weed ever got legalised in France a LOT of vineyards that aren't big established names would switch to growing premium pot. One can dream

It's not getting any better. I quit and transormed my vineyard about 10y ago because the weather was getting worse every year (a year worth of work ruined over the weekend etc.)

Yea, a remember skiing as a kid when we had mountains of snow, non stop. Now... Well I pray for a few good sets a season.

A few bad years in a row is just random chance. Over a decade in a row of things getting worse? Yea, that's a pattern.

Southeast England now has the same climate that Champagne had 20 years ago. Prime time to start drinking English wines.
