Build your own Pedro. It's easy.

Saw an article in the paper the other day.
The "experts" now say that anything over 2 standard drinks per day ( for both men and women ) will do you harm.

A 750ml bottle of wine contains 7 standard drinks ......

I'm in trouble

You had one glass too many,as its the last glass that causes the problems.

I'd be a bit concerned that you know, how dry they are!

Seen it on You Tube.....

For you heathens that think a bottle of red is something you put on a pie

If you want to avoid the headaches, avoid the tannins. Wine gets tannins from the skin and from maturing in wood.

So for whites avoid wood matured. For reds its a bit harder as skin is an integral part of the wine. So stick to lighter reds like merlots and pinots.

Also, the tannins put in histermines so if you have synis issues, it make it a lot worse. Ask my Mrs!

Me, I love the heavy ones, Shiraz, grenache, etc.

No such thing as too much.....and its good for the ticker!

Its tough when your family lives in Mildura....

The only real way to tell if you have had too much, is to get a picture of the ugliest woman you could ever imagine, then look at that as you drink. When she starts looking good, you know you've had enough

Yep. I buy Rutherglen wines which have your pic on the label.

When the pic looks good, I recork it.
