Where did you find this information? I am a bit skeptical that any

reputable winery would flour their barrels... Don't see why this would

be advantageous to them in any way. So I guess we're talking about

places that are not reputable. Names? Sources? I've had plenty of

Italian, French, Spanish etc. wines without a problem. In fact, I

think many of the European " wine snobs " would be even less likely to

engage in sketchy practices than any local wineries. Local is nice,

but i think international should be fine too.
