I've had better house reds in France than the posh labels sold here. I'm sure the scoundrels (see what I did there?) sell us their dregs and keep the best for the domestic markets.
Unless the UK wholesale buyers don't want to pay the going price for good stuff.

Maybe that's where they are going wrong. If there are better Chilean, Australian, Italian and British wines at the right price.
I'm talking as someone who doesn't know wines..

No, I'm no connoisseur.
But my Dad knew his way round a bottle or two and said that the French used to be top, but over the decades, there were lots of wine producing regions around the globe that were catching up and now have overtaken them.

Apparently we are not so bad at producing a nice drop.
The wedding I went to in Israel we were offered a glass of wine as we walk into the reception. I have never had a white wine I've enjoyed. This however was lovely, I've still not found out what it was apart from it was a white wine.
My understanding (heresay and quite possibly wrong) was that after sending vines all over the world, France was hit by a blight that destroyed most of their vineyards and they were never the same thereafter.
To put the OP's 'splutter' into context...
In the UK...
"Supermarkets are throwing away the equivalent of 190 million meals a year that could be given to the hungry"
"Just 24,242 tons was passed on to the needy out of 282,338 tons of unsold food approaching its use-by or best-before date"
One must put things into perspective rather than adopt a 'holier than thou' approach!

The wine-makers of France and Italy have been given yet another reason to weep into their glasses and shake their grape-stained fists at their New World counterparts.
