Talk:Red Bicyclette
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sales of Red Bicycletter are growing rapidly in the US. However, American producers have great difficulty selling comparable wines in France. For example, in "How to sell wine to the French," Sylvain Removille, Gallo's manager there, indicates that he and his staff have been physically assaulted promoting the American wine. He reports that in one case "I was literally thrown out of a Tex Mex in Paris. As soon as the owner realised that I was selling California wines, he said he would stock them over his dead body, took me by the the collar and threw me into the street, exactly as if we were in a cowboy movie." Not even French themselves are safe from danger. A supermarket in Carcassone was destroyed because it caried Gallo wine ("How to sell Gallo to the French." Decanter, June, 2006, p. 160).Luke YHammadian 17:24, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
