wine

Hello all! I'm not sure what to believe. Some sources show that moderate wine intake prevents Alzheimer's (seems questionable), and that it prevents sunburn (seems questionable), that it aids in weight loss, reduces heart attack risk, and risk of cataracts, and Type-2 diabetes, and heart...

When does making your own alcoholic beverages cross over into possession of untaxed liquor? Making beer and wine is legal but what about brandy or whiskey? Is it the alcohol content that makes it illegal? I asked my lawyer brother what the law is in Kansas but he didn't know and Wikipedia...

It's nearly four in the morning, and I'm absolutely hammered. I've just run a wine-tasting evening, and was hoping someone could help me with the probabilities. Basically, in a single-blinded test, contestants were given six whites and six reds, in numbered glasses, along with a list of all...

Hello all! The Shaved Ape Motorcycle Club will be hosting its first annual TAM Scotch and Wine Bar (plus cigars) event in a suite at the Caesars Palace Hotel (across the street) from the conference hotel. When: Thursday Night, 9:00-???? What: Single Malts, Red Wine, Cigars that may be from...

Here's an illuminating NYT article, written by Eric Asimov, the Times' wine dude and, according to Wikipedia, Isaac's nephew. An excerpt:

I was hoping one of you lovely JREF Linux geeks could help me out. I've been trying to get Wine running on my openSUSE system but the resolution of the configuration window is so poor I can't make head nor tail of it (see Imagehost pic). :( Any ideas would be most gratefully received.

I think this falls under the "Medicine" category. In my 22 years on Earth, I have never had beer, wine, or alcohol of any type, with the only possible exception being cough medicine (and I am not certain about that). My parents do not drink, nor do my grandparents on either side. I am told...

Alright.... Let's get the bidding started early, and that means Crackers and LL need to pick the date. So far, I'm voting for Jan 5, later in the evening. I've a class until about 5, but after that, yee-ha!

Can anyone make sense of this page? http://www.vinummaster.com/Eng/InfosClefEn.htm Seems obvious woo, but I don't know enough about chemistry. I do know enough about wine gadgets that don't do squat though! ;) Originally saw it in a Skymall magazine where it claimed it aged the wine. Now...

My mate was always banging on about controlled demolition this, the pentagon that, so this evening, after a few glasses of wine, we sat down and watched both parts of the Hardfire debate with the terrifying Mark Roberts and Dylan and Jason. Seeing how clueless Bermas was, and how mute Avery had...

Something that always bothers me in this Christian/Judao/Islamic idea of certain sins, namely Drink, Sex and physical pleasures. It says in the bible that their god commanded that they go 'forth and procreate' (procreate? create? creators? Maybe for another discussion) It also said that god's...

I had to change my shirt after spilling coffee all over it this morning, it had to do with this article: http://www.montereyherald.com/mld/montereyherald/business/15216472.htm ------------------------------------------------------------- NAPA -- A new wine gadget promises to save pennies...

Hello forum, This morning (6/7/2006) in the Los Angeles Times they ran a lengthy article in the food section about a magnetic gadget that claims to transform your cheap, crappy wine into into a "rich and silky wine". The gadget, known as the BevWizard, is described as a powerful magnet that...

I found this handy article, which explains how to create the illusion of turning water into wine via phenolphthalein. I've got something coming up where I'd like to demonstrate this, but I don't know where to get the phenolphthalein. Anyone know of a good chemical supply house for this? Also...

http://www.kesq.com/Global/story.asp?S=3349679 "The (US Supreme) court this morning struck down laws in New York and Michigan that banned shipments of wine from other states. In all, 24 states have laws barring interstate shipments of wine." When I worked for a small California winery some...

You decide. This is also a "private poll", whatever that means...

The wine clip has a video on their taste test. http://www.thewineclip.com/cgi-bin/category.cgi?category=tech_intertv I thought it would be good to review the strength and weakness of their test procedure.

With respect to SWIFT 15 Oct 2004, on the topic of "Magnetic Wine Clip". http://www.randi.org/jr/101504gallic.html Here's some of my thoughts... Q: Do they need the JREF million? Quote 1: - "The bottom line is this, JC: (a) I have nothing to prove to you and (b) I don't need a $1MM (?). "...

I think the seller of the Wine Clip has a legitimate comment in that the Wine Clip should not be considered paranormal. Granted, it's a scam, and certainly subject to negation by a double-blind test, but why would they be allowed to apply in the first place? This brings to mind another...

Hi, Anybody got Paltalk running under Linux+Wine? If so........help!.......grrrrrrr M

Excellent article from NapaNews.com How the change of climate affected the drinking habits. :)

And so's the stuff from Spain, Argentina, Chile. Something about the harsher growing conditions. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=594&ncid=594&e=1&u=/nm/20030824/hl_nm/health_longlife_dc "To illustrate that theory, Sinclair noted that red wines from regions with harsher growing...

http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=571&ncid=751&e=1&u=/nm/20030824/hl_nm/health_longlife_dc Maybe yeast isn't a good test subject to generalize from in this instance...
