(LATimes) - That most Gallic of pursuits – drinking lots and lots of wine – doesn’t seem to have quite the appeal for the French that it used to.
The average French adult consumed 57 liters of wine – or about 15 gallons – in 2010, according to a new report from the French Ministry of Agriculture division FranceAgriMer.
That’s still far more vin than their peers in the U.S. and Britain drank, but just a trickle compared with the 160 liters the French consumed in 1965. In a country famous for its wine and wine drinkers, it's a record low.
