Recruitment has stopped for this study. The response from our social network and this website was really amazing. A big thank you to everyone who expressed their interest to particapate.

The response has been quite good. I will contact everyone who have PMed (very grateful btw) by tonight or tomorrow morning.

And for the nice lady who asked, yes the "nice bottle" is an import :) I'm sure you and your husband will enjoy it.

When lying, dont be afraid of contradicting yourself later. Lies are not for making people actually believe, they are just for evading a temporarily awkward situation.

Your the resident wineo. I have a question. If the cap on a bottle of wine turns counter clockwise to open, is it a more expensive wine, then the ones where the cap turns clockwise to open.

I may have been ripped off. It all depends on your answer.

Sammy,

Try to remember "lefty loosey, righty tighty". This always works with Nightrain. For those of you unfamiliar with nightrain - check your GnR albums.

mate, it's all to do with the Southern Hemisphere, Northern Hemisphere thing. As that very informative episode of The Simpsons once showed, the Southern Hemisphere (where i am from) has a different centre of gravity. our grapes therefore grow in negative gravity compared to yours, therefore putting them under the same Stelvin (screwcap) enclosure that you have in the North would cause some serious interhemispherical forces to basically implode the bottle into negative atmosphere.

I hope this helps with your response.

I must admit, we've been slumming around the lower end imports, but I like to think that we know our way around a wine bottle........ drop us a line!

Where can I find a good Zinfandel selection in Shanghai? I see it as a few stores but it is usually a very generic brand

Wow, you went to Chico State? So did I. Graduated in 1987, the year after Playboy voted us the #1 Party School in the nation. We worked hard to earn that title, I tell you...
