Recession Proof Products ~ Chocolate and Wine!

Some products are proving recession-proof

 "It's not all doom and gloom in the U.S. economy. Some products are bucking the recession and flying off store shelves."

"Sales of chocolate and running shoes are up. Wine drinkers haven't stopped sipping; they just seem to be choosing cheaper vintages."

"People are much more focused on their homes and their immediate happiness and they're buying things that they can use themselves - seeds, fishing equipment. Lipstick and chocolate are small rewards that make you feel better."

"People are not drinking as much beer or wine at bars and restaurants, but they haven't stopped drinking. The Wine Institute says that despite the recession, U.S. sales of California wines totaled about 467 million gallons last year - 2 percent more than the year before. But people are looking more closely at cheaper selections: The overall retail value of California wine sales fell slightly from 2007, the institute said."
