They do quality vineyards just like much of France, far better than the Paris region which is lower than sencond-rate in that particular business.

Yeah, I agree with all this, but it's still funny that the French tourists won't touch German wine. It's the same soil on either side of the Moselle, and the people are basically the same, but you only see the French on their side.
But it's fair, because German wine (overall) is not very good and French wine (overall) is best or second best on earth. Alsace and Pfalz are the same wine, though.
Also, I don't think French tourists would have language difficulties. French has always been the second language in that part of Germany. Almost all my German relatives took French in Gymnasium.
