The French government is allocating €200m (£171.6m) to destroy surplus wine and support producers.
It comes amid a cocktail of problems for the industry, including a falling demand for wine as more people drink craft beer.
Overproduction and the cost of living crisis are also hitting the industry.
Most of the €200m will be used to buy excess stock, with the alcohol sold for use in items such as hand sanitiser, cleaning products and perfume.
couldn’t they still distill it and sell it as something else?
That’s exactly what they’re doing, hence the mention of hand sanitizer and stuff.
They could also turn it into Vodka but then the Slavs would have another temper tantrum.
