Wine lake

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The wine lake refers to the continuing surplus of wine over demand (glut) produced in the European Union. A major contributor to that glut is Languedoc, which produces over one-third of the grapes grown in France.

Hundreds of millions of bottles of wine are turned into industrial alcohol every year. [1]
