>>>I don't understand this. You can distill wine into brandy, or something that's becoming more popular, into vodka.

I agree. In addition, the Asians don't drink wine frequently but they do drink brandy.

It seems most Asians are allergic to alcoholic drinks or don't tolerate them well.

The solution to France's problem is simple: require all Muslim ceremonies to use wine. I no longer drink French wines and have a glass of Cabernet Sauvignon from the Socialist Republic of California sitting by my keyboard right now. I used to drink Chilean wines until I read that they had the highest pesticide content.

I hope to start making some fruit wines for myself soon.

Guess they use their brains for other things, like kicking our @sses silly on trade agreements. : (

Now pass the bottle, please - lol!

"I used to drink Chilean wines until I read that they had the highest pesticide content."

They also have higher concentrations of resveratrol. Seems the more "distressed" a grape is, especially in a mountainous region, the higher the contentration.
