Bordeaux region's white wines most affected by hail
BORDEAUX, France, Aug. 9 () -- A trade group in France said that white wines in the Bordeaux region were devastated by a 15-minute hailstorm that slashed grape vines near harvest time.France24 reported Friday that the Wine Professionals Council estimated 17,297 acres out of 284,[url=http://www.panyam.com/]cheap gucci shoes[/url],171 acres in production were damaged by a 15-minute storm on Aug. 2. that shredded plants one month before harvest."While in Bordeaux there is a lot of red wine in stock, the same does not go for the whites. This storm will certainly affect prices and availability," said Christophe Chateau of the Bordeaux Wine Professionals Council.The damage is comparable to the damaged sustained from late frosts in the spring of 1991, Chateau said."This storm was a damaging and dramatic event that could not have come at a worse time," he said.In addition, he said, many of the farmers involved did not have insurance and were looking at total losses for the acreage hit by the storm.
