Swilling Trend-Mongers
We are so far ahead of the curve we scare ourselves.
And small children.

Until you rig an intraveneous feed for your recliner, I won't be scared.

I thought of you when I saw that.
Go have a look at Tim Blair's instructions for dinner.

I took your advice and went to Wine R Us and looked at those boxes. None had a coupon for a liver transplant, so now I'm thinking medics are gonna find you passed out behind Whole Foods some day real soon. Which reminds me: Do any of your test subjects beat a truly great wine, like Carlo Rossi Paisano?

We've had it for years back in Australia. It's known as cask wine, or alternatively, goon. It was great at parties as a teenager. You could get four litres of the stuff for about eight bucks back then, and you could inflate the bladder (er, the cask bladder) after you were done and use it as a pillow.
Some of them aren't too shabby, actually. I remember years ago, a current affairs program back in Oz did the ol' hidden camera in an Indian restaurant thing. Among other things, they were filling 'proper' wine bottles up with goon and passing it off. The thing is, the customers didn't have a clue. They couldn't tell the difference.
Perhaps a man of such a discerning nature as yours could, but there you go.
