It appears the French are getting out of the champagne industry, thereby creating a worldwide shortage:

Vineyard owners in eastern France are refusing to sell tens of millions of bottles stocked in their cellars because they see them as their retirement “nest-eggs”.

The result is that the most prestigious French champagne houses are having trouble keeping pace with rising demand in the US and emerging markets such as Russia, China and India.

Ok so maybe this isn’t THAT newsworthy, but how often do you see someone building their retirement on the back of prostitutes and wannabe rappers?  BESIDES Ice T.  Anyway, Champagne is to alcohol what “grillz” are to jewelry.
