Since it's impractical to send her back to France, so let's rename her "Statue of Freedom".

IIRC... aren't almost 100% of french wine grapes grown from plants grafted by american vines? Didn't I read once about a killer desease that decimated the French wine industry?

Don't make me check google!!!!

 I am pretty sure that french grape vines are grafted onto the american(?) grape roots, since roots were affected by the rot, not the whole plant. Hence, the wine is made of genetically french stuff.

Grape vines from the eastern United States intended for experimental grafting were responsible for bringing the devastating phylloxera "vine louse" plague to Europe in the 1860's. The plague then spread back to the U.S. when cuttings were reimported. Eventually a solution was found and both the European and the American wine industries were saved by grafting European vines onto American wild-grape root stock resistant to phylloxera.


cc American roots...

What if the old continent would have just enforced trade embargo on north america, then they would be just a bunch of 3rd world nations, rather than a big nation.

Too bad you were all too busy beating the crap out of one another to bother.
