...with 3,478,522 bottles. French champagne makers are unworried over competition from U.S. wines. "They are our avant-garde," says Robert Jean de Vogüé, head of Moët et Chandon. "When people come to appreciate wine, they will appreciate French champagne." The French companies do resent the fact that U.S. makers are permitted to label their product champagne. In England and on the Continent, only wine from the actual Champagne district-35,000 acres on either bank of the lazy Marne River-can legally be labeled champagne...

About the only gainers from the French show of intransigence are the world's underdeveloped nations, many of whom resent the Group of Ten as a white rich men's club trying to dictate monetary reform to the rest of the world. They not only want the 103-member International Monetary Fund to control the issuance of new reserves, but also demand vastly increased rights to borrow from the IMF to cover their recurrent financial difficulties. Continental countries, however, regard such a system as potentially inflationary and therefore a dangerous plaything in the hands of countries...
