I am in Grade 8 currently and I
have always had an interest in
wine, vineyards, vinification,
etc and I personally brew wine
myself as a hobby and gift it to
relatives, and at school through-out the
grades we have been bombarded with
these teachers propagating that all alcholic
drinks are drugs and they say “The worst drug
for you, but I guess Cannibis, Methenfedimine, Cocaine don’t acount for anything”

Wine should be offilitated with an illegal
substance, Wine is a traditional and in some places is a cultural drink. (Off topic a bit, my teacher that taught that retired that year so as a retirment gift being who I am, I got her a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon…) HaHa.

Jesus.

Caffeine, nicotine, cocoa – even the opioid precursors in cheese: all drugs. Any chemical that produces a detectable change in your perception, brain or body chemistry is a drug.

And, by the way, alcohol is very strong, highly addictive and physically harmful drug.

Well?

Let them drink wine, and me too!

The wine rhyme did not translate very well. As I’ve been stduing Italian, I gave translating it a try:

The Rhyme of Wine

Born from Pergola grapes (Pergola is in the Province of Pesaro and Urbino in the Marche region of Italy),
First it is sour, then mature.
The farmer picks (the grapes and they are)
crushed in the tub.
The Must bubbles day and night,
then finishes in the barrel (or cask).
It rests in the barrel until the wine is pink (in color).
After many weeks it (the wine) goes to fill large (10 liter) bottles or Barriques,
but it doesn’t want to stay inside them.
Now it is ready to finish for the family feast,
then go into the bottle.
It arrives poured in glasses,
and for all is good taste.

Ciao,

Rudy
