 Because English wines were known for being *really bad*. IIRC it was
 Peter of Blois who remarked on the terrible wine. Can't cite it though-
guess
where the books are? :-/  Right. That was the idea behind my comment.
The English wine was bad so they imported the better French wine....Dang.
Now I'll be up all night, mentally going through the bookshelf in Sutherlin.
I know I've got the English wines comment, but where?...  Stefan >>

This is probably what you're looking for:  "English wine is more fit to be
sieved rather than drunk." (Peter of Blois, 12th c.)
