"But when we went over our February sales numbers for French wines, they were up 12 percent over last year."

Did you even read that article. The main point was how we as Americans are talking the talk about anti France but not walking the walk.

AHMMM YES I DID

French flags no longer are flying high and proud outside the Sofitel Hotel in midtown Manhattan. The French-owned hotel chain, part of the French hotel company Accor whose units include U.S. motel chains Red Roof Inn and Motel 6, replaced the flags with the Stars and Stripes as a peace offering to its American guests.

Marc Refabert, founder of fromage.com, a Tours, France-based distributor of French cheese with about 8,000 customers in the United States, said he's been getting hostile e-mails from some of his American customers. He's even divided them into three categories -- the polite rebuffs, the "shocking" letters, and some that said "Vive la France."

Quote:

But Serge Bellenger, president of French-American Chamber of Commerce, said that although he's noted a few isolated incidents of anti-French sentiment against French businesses, he doesn't see it rising to a bigger wave against all French products.

Not anymore I say out of 120 billion they will be left with 50% by the time this is over

We must have been reading different articles.

February sales? Who cares? The anti-French "backlash", if you will, has recently started. It didn't involve the whole of February.

Let's see what March brings...
