Green Wine is really awesome and I can easily drink a barrel if i will be smoking Partagas cigars with it. All the wine lovers should taste it once to feel the real joy and delightful taste of wine.

Wine is grape juice that has gone bad.

No thanks, I will stick to a bottle.

This weekend is our national wine festival. They'll be plenty of wine for sale, from barrels. Just bring your rinsed out 2 liter plastic beer bottles and fill 'em up.

I'll drink to this article. To my friends who enjoy a glass of wine..and those who don't, I say wine is much healthier for us than water. Why do I say that? Well, read this, you might learn something.



As Ben Franklin said:
In wine there is wisdom,
In beer there is freedom,
In water there is bacteria.

In a number of carefully controlled trials, scientists have demonstrated that if we drink 1 liter of water each day, at the end of the year we would have absorbed more than 1 kilo of Escherichia coli,
(E- C-o-l-i) - bacteria found in f-e-c-s. In other words, we are consuming 1 kilo of p-o-o-p.
However, we do NOT run that risk when drinking wine & beer (or tequila, rum, whisky or other liquor), because alcohol has to go through a purification process of boiling, filtering and/or fermenting.
Remember:
Water = P-o-o-p, Wine = Health .
Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk st00pid, than to drink water and be full of c-r-a-p.
There is no need to thank me for this valuable information:
I'm doing it as a public service.

Bottoms Up. ;-)

Not only in Italy, but in France, Germany, and the Czech Republic, too. Most wineries ship to the local wine shop in huge tanks from which consumers fill their own containers. If it's good enough for Chateauneuf du Pape, and Chateau Margaux, it ought to be good enough for anything else.

In Italy you can take your own container to many wineries to have it filled. With the wonderful vineyards in all areas of the US we should see if we can do the same.
