More Vino...More Bragging

Italians popped open 80 million bottles of bubbly on New Year's Eve.

More importantly, the Italian farmers association Coldiretti announced that vineyards here produced more bubbly than their competitors in France last year: 340 million bottles of spumante, compared to 260 million bottles of champagne. AND, French champagne production was down 44 percent the first half of 2009, the farmers crowed.

Apparently, this is becoming a thing...
