Or maybe “Wino Terrorists�
A shadowy group of wine activists has issued a one-month ultimatum to Nicolas Sarkozy threatening “action†if the new French President fails to help the industry.

In a pre-recorded message delivered to France 3, a regional television channel, from “somewhere in the Languedoc hinterlandâ€, five balaclava-clad men read out a statement addressed to Sarkozy.
