You must not have read the article all the way through: the problem — if we can call it that — is a decrease in consumption but not in viniculture, hence the issue of a market glut.
I do not know which kinds of wine are to be destroyed, but I’d hazard a guess that it isn’t the kind that ages well.
- pessimizer 3y agoA decrease in the consumption of wine can be fixed with a decrease in the price of wine.

I don't know about the situation in France, but it would hit exports here in addition to Brexit problems. I presume you are implying that the folks who aren't going sober will just consume more to offset if prices decrease, but there is going to be a limit to the amount they can.
