Inconsistancy?

The article states:

"Over 40% of French grape vines and vineyards were devastated over a 15 year period, from the late 1850s to the mid 1870s."
"Production of wine in France fell from 84.5 million hectolitres in 1875 to only 23.4 million hectolitres."

I assume that the last statement should be "Production of wine in France fell from 84.5 million hectolitres to only 23.4 million hectolitres in 1875." to make more sense, but I'm not sure, also the 40% and 84.5 to 23.4 sounds a bit wrong, but might be correct with a from and to year, also a ref would be nice. --Stefan ^talk 14:09, 8 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
