The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

Temperatures are rising again and will reach the forties in Spain and France this week, which will make it harder to control the wildfires. The worst fires in France are centered around the city of Bordeaux, which could lead to a sharp uptick in the price for Bordeaux wines. It will take several years for affected vineyards to get back to normal production.
It would be wise to stock up your wine cellars while there is time.
All the vinyards in the world could burn as far as I'm concerned. I hate wine. May as well just drink turpentine.

Ahh, but what's the effect of climate change on turpentine?

Hopefully climate change turns turpentine into beer

I have not drank alcohol in 30 plus years (lost count and don't exactly recall when but at some point in my mid to late 20's) but completely agree.
Detested wine from day 1.
The woman has a hundred some bottles downstairs though....to each their own.
I didn't drink for many years, however, these days I do enjoy a beer or two now and then. It's more about living a healthy life style for me.

I love my whiskey and martinis hence the name but also a good cold beer after a round of golf or a good BC white wine at dinner just makes the evening much better. Haven't had a hangover in decades as I limit myself but now adays I get the odd beer or whisky because of my health but I do not miss it.
I have started to dabble in non alcoholic beer as it is really good and probably will do that for the rest of my life.
