Watch out, as I'm sure the term "fine" (as in fine wine) is well on the way down the same track.
I recognise that the industry has now decided to adopt the scales of premium mentioned, but don't feel I have to buy into it. I'll buy the wine I want.

Bob Ross wrote:Incidentally, the time posted times are very odd. I'm sure your post wasn't there when I signed on, and I went to the wine institute within a couple of minutes, so must have posted within five or six minutes. There seems to be an hour difference between our posts according to the times on my browser.
Does that depend on the time we set respectively for WLDG in Profile?

In any event, I wouldn't have posted had I seen your response. Sorry.
