Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 On the map Canada has the same life span as the French. Do the French drink more wine or more cognac? Cognac may have a higher level of the good stuff. regards. [ ] who lives longest?

Guest guest Posted November 15, 2006 Report Share Posted November 15, 2006 Strangely, even though the French take such pride in all things French, they've never been among the world leaders in Cognac consumption.According to IWSR, French cognac consumption in 2005 was 412000 liters. France is the 6th biggest market worldwide, but is mainly a VS market ( 77% versus 17% for VSOP and 6% for XO category)French cognac consumption is down 2.6% over the past 12 years.Today, the U.S., Japan, Great Britain, Hong Kong, and Germany all consume more cognac annually than does the country of its birth—and Americans buy more than anyone else: nearly 28 million bottles last year alone. Wine is still king and likely to remain so With 42 litres per capita consumed in 2005, wine remains the most popular alcoholic drink in France, despite the fact consumption has been in constant decline for many years. Wine consumption is still well above beer, which is also in decline.. On 11/15/06, jwwright <jwwright@...> wrote: On the map Canada has the same life span as the French.
