Three wine-related stories for eager oenophiles this past week. Firstly, British research firm ISWR conducted a study for Vinexpo, the biennial international wine and spirits trade show held in Bordeaux. It states that Canada's wine consumption has grown to 40 million cases and forecasts that our consumption will have grown six times faster than the world average in the span of ten years. We now rank as the world's fifth biggest wine importer by volume. Get the rest of the intriguing facts and figures. Go montrealgazette.com/health/Canada+wine+consumption or vinexpo.ca@sopexa.com For a second article of increasing interest, check out BBC News' web site for a report entitled "red alert over fake fraudsters". It details fabled first growth Chateau Margaux's initiatives in battling fraudulent/counterfeit bottles of their wines often sold at auction houses. Thirdly, reviewer Eric Asimov essays wine descriptions in an article entitled " wine in two words". Go to nytimes.com/2011/02/23/dining.
