“UHT (ultra high temperature) pasteurized milk is sold in many countries with questionable refrigeration.”

So that is how they get away with it? I am not talking about “questionable refrigeration”. I mean zero refrigeration both here and in Europe, where I would see pallet loads of it.

As an aside, could someone explain why anyone would drink Chardonnay? It has no taste.

A good Chardonnay has an excellent taste but you need the proper glass. A Chardonnay glass has a wide lip so that the wine washes over your whole tongue. Narrower wine glasses focus the wine down the middle of the tongue which gives it a bitter taste(to me). I never appreciated Chardonnay until I learned this. Many Chardonnays have a smooth,buttery taste to me. Quite pleasant.

Yes, you need to come visit, sit in our shaded beer/wine garden above the beach and enjoy my European wine or our great San Miguel beer.
The annual vegetable festival started today. A parade just went by. Soon we will head to the seaside park to see spectacular fireworks.

Yes, UHT milk needs no refrigeration. It does have a slight cooked taste, which some dislike. Canned evaporated milk was popular in the US in the 1920’s and 1930’s before most people had refrigerators.

I well remember Pet and Carnation canned evaporated milks. My mother used them in cooking, but for drinking I thought they tasted awful.
I am not much of a milk drinker but in my morning cereal, the box milk taste as good as any. The box milk here comes in both regular and low fat. I bought some today.
