Neutrality and other problems

Around 2005, someone made up a neologism to refer to an alleged overproduction of wine in the EU (especially in France), and that neologism became the title of this article. The "Plan Bordeaux" proposal seems to have fizzled, as I can't find any further sources discussing it. If they have too much wine, why not just export some? Is it just undrinkable low-quality swill? If so, then why do they keep producing it – is some kind of government production subsidy involved? Good quality French wine fetches very high prices! Does this perceived surplus still exist? The information in the article all seems at least a decade old, and the sourcing seems minimal. —BarrelProof (talk) 02:44, 13 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Overproduction of wine is a recurring issue and the phrase goes back about fifty years – the OED has it back to 1974. See the friendly search suggestions above. Andrew🐉(talk) 22:27, 6 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with the deprodding of the article, but I'm not sure about its scope. The glut in wine production in the EU from 15 years ago is a well-known moment (that's still getting referenced from time to time: example), and it certainly deserves to be covered somewhere. But should this article be about this particular period, or should it extend to cover all wine oversupply issues associated with the EU's Common Agricultural Policy over the previous decades, or should it exactly match the scope of the title and cover oversupply of wine in general? – Uanfala (talk) 12:52, 8 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
