Why is a ‘clean’ wine generating controversy?
Let me start by saying I like Cameron Diaz as an actress.
Her campy stints in The “Charlie’s Angels” flicks, her audio role as Princess Fiona in the “Shrek” films and her dirty dancing in the Chinese restaurant in “The Sweetest Thing” have all made me smile. Though we have not seen her on the big screen since 2014 (“Annie”), she did video-conven

Champagnemakers beperken druivenoogst in de hoop op een hogere prijs
Champagne wordt duurder, als het aan de wijnmakers van de beroemde Franse streek ligt: ze gaan de druivenoogst van dit jaar beperken in de hoop dat de prijs stijgt.
