It's to help lower my cholesterol!!! LOL
No kidding...Red Zinfandel, 16 proof, can lower your cholesterol just like a pill! Well, I can't afford the 16 proof...but I did the best I could...
note: "proof" is double the percent alcohol. 16 proof would be 8% alcohol (and I know of beer as strong as that). Most wine is 15% or so, IIRC, though I'm not much of a wine drinker.
Me... I go for Wild Turkey, 101 proof. Wooohooo! Why mess around? :-)
