WHAT!

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!
Any other irrelevant and off-topic stories from the UK you'd like to shoehorn into this post while you’re at it? So f'cking predictable. <yawn>

It's great to see you using a 17 year old article to justify a lame attack on the EU, boyo.

Lol.
Lame attack eh, it's triggered you.
There's a more recent one that happened during covid but with you being so precious Im not sure you could have coped with a double whammy.
 
Lame attack eh
Correct...

the European commission refused to fully compensate the two countries for producing too much, and warned them and other countries in the European Union to make less and expect less subsidy.

You need to learn to read the WHOLE article boyo.

17 years old, lol.

Talking of predictable, how come you've not yet come up with a reply about the £100bn black hole in the UK economy that brexit has caused?

And I guess we can add to the mottie 'I don't care' list (which seems to grow by the day) the fact that mottie doesn't care that there is a huge food wastage problem in the UK...

But hey, an EU hater would rather blame them pesky foreigners rather than worry about home grown* problems...

*Did I mention that UK farmers are going off 'home grown' due to the subsidies not being provided as promised :rolleyes:
It’s not a Brexit thread. Get a life you boring, bitter, one track bastard.

You not think they might have been taking the pi*s long before they felt the need to step in.
 
It's an EU bashing thread, and thus a bit of balance is required...

But given your swearing outbursts I guess you haven't had your breakfast wine fix yet...

Nothing to do with those pesky EU foreigners 'pulling the plug' on your tipple perchance?
Stop digging. I created a thread saying that an EU country can send me their wine if they were going to destroy it. Read the first post again. Only you could take that as an EU bashing thread you bitter, twisted, Brexit fixated idiot. Are you suffering from sleep depravation after a night shift at the care home?

Keep flailing boyo. 17 years old, lol.

Good old EU. (y)

Er is that not what I said. When you get too many trying it on then you have to call time on the free lunches. Why you think the eu is amazing in that respect only you will know.
 
The problem with wine production (and other such long term production items) is that it's difficult to foresee the trend for several years in advance.

The average wine production timeline is about three years. but as peoples' wine consumption reduced, for the health benefits, the industry was delivered a kind of double whammy.
The average wine drinker reduced their intake, and turned to better quality wine. Quality, not quantity. And better quality wine takes longer to produce than the average plonk.

The established wine producers were also affected by the gradual increase and improvement of the 'thirld world' wines, and their export around the world.

Now that gradual reduction in consumption is hitting hard, (or drinking habits are switching to trendy drinks) and the obvious result is over-production.
Market forces come into play, the prices have dropped to a point that barely covers the cost of production, so production is naturally being reduced.
 
English sparkling wine beats modern Champagne in most of the blind testing competitions. I read a while back that the climate in Southern England is now what is was in Champagne in the late 50s early 60s.

Any of these would knock champagne into a cocked hat.

It depends who's doing the blind tasting, surely.
