The Hand Is Not Invisible, The Head is Balaclava-clad

Languedoc winemakers introduce us to a new way to prop prices up:

The activist wine group CRAV has issued a one-month ultimatum to Nicolas Sarkozy threatening 'action', and possibly deaths, if the new premier does not help the struggling southern French wine industry.... They said that if in one month nothing has changed and that wine prices have not gone up, they will go into action.

I guess I'll stick to Châteauneuf-du-Pape and other Côtes du Rhône wines for a while.
