“Unfair competition” is the 150 French vintners’ claim as to why they attacked a massive wine shipment headed into France from Spain on April 4.

The assailants attached five tankers, unscrewing the trucks’ caps and pouring the red and white wine directly into the street—estimated to be a whopping 90,000 bottle equivalent.
