Except they did nothing of the sort.
They just decided to tax all alcoholic beers as alcohol, and thus the same as wine.
Before that beers with very low alcohol content were treated as non-alcoholic beverages, which enjoy a lower VAT rate.
Makes no difference to Belgian beers, and France does produce quite a bit of beer as well (same or more than Belgium).
