BORDEAUX, France (Reuters) - They might hate French diplomacy, but Americans can't help but splash out on France's fine wines.

Despite threatening to boycott French products when Paris opposed the U.S.-led war in Iraq (news - web sites), Americans overtook Germans as the biggest spenders on France's Bordeaux wines in the 2002-03 sales year.

(Shhhh. Don't tell the freeps. They are still boycotting.)
