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.

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.

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

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.

What!??
When your health went south on you I thought the name change came because you were seeing your doctor all the time…

The name change was to cover up his prodigious partaking of the leaf.
He tried to pass it off as a love for aquariums. Yeah, likely story Reefer!

Your only choices are 0 joints or 1 joint?

You forgot 3, 4 or even 5
(The number represents the "at a time" value)
If Reef had just smoked 3 I'm sure he would have realized and removed the plastic gold gilded Kleenex box cover from the rear window of his corolla
