Less sun and lower temperatures in Burgundy, even with climate change, means less sugar in the grapes and lower alcohol content.Mr Labet remembers when, for 18 months of his first presidency, Donald Trump hit European wine with a 25% import tariff during a dispute over airlines.

"We were hostages of that situation, and it really did affect our sales to the US. We had a drop of about 50% of our exports to the US."Regarding the current 10% Trump tariff, he predicts that French wine producers and US merchants will split the cost of the new import duty between them in order to maintain sales.But what will be the impact if in July Trump does decide to increase the tariff on all European Union exports to 20%, as he has threatened to do? "We will go back to the 2019 situation where the market was almost stopped," says Mr Labet.

For French wines in general, things could be even worse."When President Trump raised import duties by 25% for one-and-a-half years of his first mandate, we lost about $600m [£450m] very quickly," says Jerome Bauer, president of the French National Wines and Spirits Confederation.

"But back then Champagne wasn't included, and neither were wines stronger than 14 degrees of alcohol. So you can see the scale of the threat today."

The solution Mr Bauer is backing is free trade. No tariffs. But you'd expect him to say that, given that France and Europe run a big trade surplus with the US when it comes to wines and spirits.Of all the aircraft targeted by Operation Spider's Web, the A-50, with its radar capable of seeing targets and threats more than 600km (372 miles) away, is arguably the most important.

Before the full-scale invasion in 2022, Russia was thought to operate around nine A-50s. Before last Sunday, as many as three had been shot down or damaged in an earlier drone attack.The latest footage strongly implies that drones hit the circular radar domes of the two A-50s parked at the Ivanovo Severny airbase, north-east of Moscow.

However, since the video feed cuts out at the moment of impact, this is hard to completely verify.Satellite imagery, which clearly displays the wreckage of numerous bombers, is inconclusive when it comes to the A-50.
