The French Government has approved the establishment of a vineyard planted to genetically modified grapevines (http://www.theepochtimes.com/n2/content/view/35781/).
GM vines have existed for many years, but always in contained areas. This move by the government is very significant, as everyone who has been working on GM vines has held off taking them to the next step in terms of evaluation, waiting for the French to move first, the idea being, if they do it they've got the best chance of selling it to the industry and public, opening to door to everyone else.
I'll be watching this one very closely!!
