- Mr Vinexpo makes a particularly bold statement
http://www.decanter.com/news/news.php?id=285236
"Vinexpo CEO Robert Beynat has dismissed the internet as a commercial tool for wine.
Speaking at the closing conference of the Bordeaux wine fair last week, Beynat said the web will 'never be anything other than a marginal circuit for sales.' "
This is one of those statements (as one of the original article's commentors points out), like "the world is flat", the "sun revolves around the earth" and so on, will at some point be proved false.

Keep in mind, this statement comes from a man whose remaining collection of wines upon his death will inevitably be sold online.

So, Fibo, that's how dinosaurs went extinct? Slipping on all those monster banana peels lying around the swamps? ;-)
Seems a silly ending for stuffy French wine snobs, but I'm sure Graucho would have approved...
