Wine consumption--Tippling less?

THE French are drinking less of it than before, but continue to outslurp everyone else: the average French adult consumed fewer than 60 litres of wine in 2007, a sharp drop on the total of four years earlier. In general, residents of Mediterranean countries continue to drink more wine than north Europeans.
But habits are changing as Britons, the Irish and Nordics (as well as Americans and Canadians) are knocking back more wine than before. In time an old division between beer-swilling Anglo Saxons and wine-sipping southern Europeans may gradually fade away.
The Economist welcomes your views.
