Did you know that in the winter of 406/407 AD, the Rhine River completely froze over? It allowed the ‘barbarian’ hordes to cross on foot and accellerate the already rapid demise of the Roman empire.
Only three years later (410) the Visigoths sacked Rome.

By the way, I read Australia now threatens France not only in wine-making but also in truffle-growing. Well done.
