In this bizarro moment in time, here's a problem I think most of us can get behind.

 

“We are experiencing a crisis that we evaluate to be even worse than the Great Depression (1929-1939) in terms of economy for Champagne,” Thibaut Le Mailloux of the Champagne Committee said . “And if you look at a more recent crisis like 1974, the drop in Champagne shipments was only half of what we are expecting this year.”

 

Even though alcohol consumption is up, producers in France’s northeastern Champagne region expect roughly 100 million bottles of bubbly to go untouched by year’s end. Champagne sales have dropped by one-third and producers say they’ve lost $2.7 billion

 

We could turn the grapes into hand sanitizer. "Every squirt will have a fizz". However an owner of one of the champagne brands said, unsurprisingly, that doing so would be “an insult to nature.”

 

Let's save the industry...everyone drink more champagne :)
