Wine in Russia; A Triumph of Incompetence

The Sunday Business in quite a good article on the simultaneous over-production and over-pricing that characterizes the French wine business today.  The Siege of St Emilion.

Meanwhile here in not-so-sunny Moscow there is no wine on the shelves (that's none).  Friends coming around for dinner are now cautious about over-consumption of our rapidly declining stocks.  The likelihood is that the cellar will be bare before our supplier will be able to sell us more.

Only in a business controlled by the FSB could you manage to have a world-wide glut and a domestic shortage.

A good time for you to either consider absolutism or hone up your distillery skills.

Never underestimate the selfimprovement opportunities that a life in Russia provides so amply.
