French activists waste 1,000,000 bottles of wine

In the southern French region of Languedoc-Roussillon, a group of wine activists have destroyed the equivalent of 1,000,000 bottles of wine. In the third such action this week, the unknown group broke into a wine cooperative in Nîmes and emptied all the wine vats. The wasted wine was worth 600,000 euros.

The activists say they are protesting against low prices and cheap imports and are trying to force the French government to do more for French wine producers.
