Make more raisins and sell them as a health food supplement.

I use wine just for cooking. People ask me why I’m always cooking.

[Lurker]

I often cook with wine. Sometimes I even add it to the food.

I thought Chicken Noodle News reported that all the vineyards burned up because.....Trump.

I thought it would be just the OPPOSITE, what with the acreage destroyed by fires in the Napa Valley, etc. a few years back.

What do you know? Nature Can Survive!

Why are wine sales down? Because it’s not Keto? Liquor is Quicker? ;)

oh good.....PLEASE tell me what types of wine are best to cook meat with because I’ve botched every one I’ve tried!

Odd...the new high tariffs on French wine have really killed them, so I’d expect Americans to take advantage of this to fill the market and ramp up their prices.

But I guess it depends on the wine. Perhaps high end wines are the only ones affected, so it wouldn’t have any effect on the bulk wine market.

I don’t think the French sent us much mid-shelf wine anyway. We get more (and much better) affordable wine from Spain.

Any good names on the list?

"Wine consumption has dropped for the first time in 25 years, with more Americans turning to liquor and ready-to-drink cocktails, according to industry group IWSR. “The industry should rightly be concerned,” McMillan said. “We aren’t engaging with the millennial consumer, and boomers who have driven wine sales for the last 30 years won’t live forever.”"

More for us old timers!

Opus One is too expensive?

State will raise taxes to keep things even.

[Sacajaweau]

Any kind of wine that you drink.

I even freeze it...it's really slush not solid...but for cooking...it's fine.

Turn ‘em into kits for home winemakers. I’d love to be able to go to a local vineyard & harvest real wine grapes. We make wine out of all kinds of fruit, but I’ve only had a chance to get real wine grapes once.

One Buck Chuck?

[Trump.Deplorable]

So two buck chuck will be one buck chuck?

My father-in-law used to make Dandelion Wine. I was intrigued, especially because of the association with the Ray Bradbury book.

But ot was nasty stuff.

(His berry wines were wonderful.)

A cup for the pot, a cup for the cook...

"In this case, we overshot demand.”

Bottle it and let it sit for a few years. It's not like they're baking bread or somethin'.
