One result is that the number of caf\u00e9s and bars selling wine in France has declined precipitously, from 200,000 fifty years ago to 30,000 today. These are serious trends in a country where more than half a million people are employed in producing wine and where wine is embedded in the nation\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The question is why the French \u2013 especially young people, because only 1% of people 15-24 report drinking wine regularly \u2013 seem to have given up on wine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The story in <em>The Local<\/em> is here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thelocal.fr\/20220502\/analysis-why-the-french-are-drinking-less-and-less-wine\/\">https:\/\/www.thelocal.fr\/20220502\/analysis-why-the-french-are-drinking-less-and-less-wine\/<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Professor Rod Phillips was interviewed recently by the French edition of The Local, a news service for English-speakers living in Europe, on patterns of wine consumption in France.
