The French government is allocating €200m (£171.6m) to destroy surplus wine and support producers.
It comes amid a cocktail of problems for the industry, including a falling demand for wine as more people drink craft beer.
Overproduction and the cost of living crisis are also hitting the industry.
Most of the €200m will be used to buy excess stock, with the alcohol sold for use in items such as hand sanitiser, cleaning products and perfume.
that would make the use of the word destroying on the title a little clickbaity wouldn’t it? reading the article should be to find additional details, not contradictions
First time in the Internet, huh? Well welcome to the party.
It’s no longer wine. The wine is destroyed. They do not plan to breach the laws of physics, lol. It’s clickbaity but not crazy inaccurate.
