Wine Terrorism - CRAV Grape Activists Threaten French President
CRAV Grape Activists Threaten French President
 Published: May 25, 07

A group of activists called the Regional Committee for Viticultural Action (aka CRAV) is giving French President, Nicholas Sarkozy, a monetary ultimatum – subsidize the distilling of surplus wine or feel its wrath. These terrorists of the grape have been known to hijack wine shipments and blow up government buildings.

I guess CRAV’s motto is “French President’s begin as grapes, and it’s up to CRAV to stomp the cr_p out of them until they do something acceptable.”

In a recorded message delivered to a regional television station, CRAV told the new president that in addition to more money, it wants Europe to continue a subsidy for distilling surplus wine into alcohol spirit. CRAV also called on fellow winemakers to unite. The activists make reference to a 1907 winemakers' uprising in Montpellier when army troops opened fire on thousands of demonstrators, killing six people. (sciencedaily)
