Wine Inclined

White or red?  When it comes to American wine, teh color is green.  For the first time in U.S. wine sales have topped the wine-loving French.  Stephanie Gallo of California-based Gallo Family Vineyards
says, "It's exciting".  U.S. wine consumption has continued to climb despite the recession.  And there's still room to grow.  American adults dring about two and a half gallons of wine a year each.  But French wine consumption is more than 12 gallons a year.  If these numbers confuse you and it seems like the French consume more wine than the American's that is true, however American wine sales are more because America has a greater population.  Still the first time this has ever happened, I think its pretty cool.
