Shadow of Ezra on X: “Wildfires in France are now directly threatening the Rothschilds’ legendary wine estates in the historic city of Bordeaux. The biggest threat isn’t the flames. It’s the smoke. Grapes can absorb smoke compounds before they’re harvested, causing irreversible smoke taint that can permanently alter the taste and aroma of the wine. If the smoke exposure becomes severe enough, the entire 2026 vintage could be be ruined, putting a significant share of Bordeaux’s elite wine production in jeopardy.” / X
