Dramatic sales decreases

The wine trade is apprehensive that the current financial crisis will also have a negative effect on sales of Bordeaux wines.

As reported by the Bordeaux Blogg, both the French and the international wine trade are skeptical with regard to the further development of Bordeaux sales. They anticipate a dent in sales at least as significant as it was after 9/11 in 2001. While the market for these wines in China remains firm, dramatic sales decreases are being reported in the USA, and it appears both Brits and Germans are also being very coy about placing orders.
