Yep, good points, especially the notion of 'develop' when it comes to wine in England.  Surely with today's technology palatable products can be made.

But if not they'll they be competing with the French with after-market grape juice containing alcohol.

It's mystifying why growers/winemakers insist on growing pinot noir in the the Leelanau peninsula in northern MI (might as well be Austria) as it is unfit for vinegar.

Yet the tourists still flock and buy enough to keep them in business.

(And speaking of points, you're going to need a lot of them on New Year's Day) </big wink>

I trust the weather will be fine for a good old-fashioned Rose Bowl?

It always is, or so it seems. I swear, more people decide to move to California on New Year's Day then any other day of the year:
