Here's a winning proposition: hold off on a proposed ban to adding excess sugar (chaptalization) to European wine, and instead penalize vineyards that aren't turning a profit or are distilling wine for too long.
This will bankroll the European wine industry. It will also flood our market with wine that does little besides daze us with a high concentration of alcohol.
Small wineries that sacrifice short-term profit for a quality vintage will fall to the wayside.
If the world wants so much alcohol, why not leave wine alone and turn to our old friend vodka?
