Don't forget they are farmers who rely almost completely on their land. And don't forget that they can also maintain a lot more dignity when not dirt poor, like those in less developed countries.

An observation is that the different systems of Bordeaux / Burgundy did enforce the people's view on the globalization.
I see that those "modernised" winemakers do not have a better understanding of "terroir" than those small burgundian makers. The system that Bordeaux is using is actually a "brand" system while Burgundy is using a system by location. So I am quite sure that the bordeaux makers will blend the grapes from different vineyards.
Hence, those bordeaux winemakers do not fight much on takeover, etc. as they see their wine as a branded product, while burgundians see their wine as a local craft.

Finished watching all.......
Somehow I am still against "globalization" but worried about the survival of those small wine makers...... :-\

It's good to see the other side of things. The good thing about it is that it creates lots of wealth for some people, and bring down prices generally (may be not in the case of wine, but in many other goods.)
The bad thing is that the little guys, including those with special crafts and niches, are priced out or forced out. And the world ended up more uni-cultural. And may ended up less tolerant of difference.
BTW we are now facing the ugly face of sort of globalization right at our door step, right at our face - that is the potential lost of Cantonese in a few generations.

You mean the "Potunghau-lization" in GuangDong?? >:(
I don't know why.....Did the PRC government want to unify the pronunciation and wordings of Chinese language? That's stupid. UK has the size of Guangdong province but they have more than 20 accents of British English........
