rather than me it, for the best part of the last four decades!
I have travelled hither and yawn across vast distances, and have stayed close to home and off the road entirely during experimental imbibing.
I have drunk way more than my share of white wine from time to time, mostly to be sociable around the ladies.
Red wine however, made its mark on me very early on, as well as some of my furnishings. I have found that white wine, used as a solvent, can remove red wine from white carpet if you hit it real quick!
It's best to keep a bottle or two of white around for the inevitable eventualities, and of course to impress the ladies with your consideration, sensitivity, and possession of useful household skills.
Recently, some scientists have been made honorary members of that esteemed organization known as SWINE,
(Seniors Wildly Indifferent about Nearly Everything) for their particular faithfulness to my most favorite of minor ambitions.
First; for their persistent belief that red wine is good for you and their tenacity in finding something that proves it.
Second; for the discovery of resveratrol. It's some kind of little bug in a bottle of good Chianti. Empirically red wine is good for you. Yes sir, scientifically good for you!

"The elixir's formula echoes recent scientific studies that credit resveratrol, a compound which is found in the skins of red grapes, with helping to prevent heart disease and other age-related illnesses." "Red wine does help prevent cardiovascular disease and may prevent other diseases of aging. It's still not clear if there is enough resveratrol to have the same kind of anti-aging effects in humans as we see in mice, but it is thought that a combination of resveratrol and other plant 'polyphenols,' as well as a bit of alcohol, are beneficial to health," David Sinclair, a pathology professor at Harvard Medical School, told Discovery News. Sinclair pointed out the eldest-ever man, Antonio Todd, was an Italian, who died at age 116.
Oh, thank God for this great man and the gift he has bestowed on us. Rejoice! All has been made right on Earth as it is in Heaven.
If you don't believe me just click on those embedded blue words. While we give thanks, don't forget Bill Gates or Al Gore or who ever it was that invented the Internet, and other research scientists that allow us to learn so much GOOD, so easy, with just the help of a little mouse.
Now, I may not have known the names of the chemicals, but I knew that red wine, and Chianti in particular, had therapeutic properties," I always feel psychologically better just thinking about it! I for sure feel better physically in the morning after a good bottle of Chianti and a long restful sleep.
"S"-WINE
Sangiovese
Sangiovese is the kind of grapes grown in the region near Sienna, Italy.
I spent 280 euros trying different varieties of this fine red wine till I found the formulation perfect for my particular palate. I went immediately to a city nearby to order a couple of cases shipped to my home so I was sure to have an ample supply for continuing my work. The shop keeper mocked me and tried to reason with me this way. "Why senior' would you spend so much money on Chianti?" "It's like the national drink around here!" It would be like you shipping Coca Cola from Atlanta Georgia to Portland Oregon.
"It's a secret formula, like Coca Cola's recipe" said Dr. De Munari. The good Doctor is another recent devotee to the ever increasing population of red wine drinkers joining SWINE; Seniors Wildly Indifferent to Nearly Everything while drinking S -Wine

An uncredited statement made on behalf of our former sponsor
HOT DOG TRAVELLER A self described expert in food vessels and transport, now partnered with the federal government of the United States of America.
"Chianti is a famous red wine of Italy, which takes its name from a traditional region of Tuscany where it is produced.[1] It used to be easily identified by its squat bottle enclosed in a straw basket, called fiasco ("flask"; pl. fiaschi); however, the fiasco is only used by a few makers of the wine now; most Chianti is bottled in traditionally shaped wine bottles. Low-end Chianti is fairly inexpensive, with a basic Chianti costing less than US$10 a bottle. More sophisticated Chiantis, however, are made and sold at substantially higher prices. Today, Chianti is generally consumed at room (technically "cellar") temperature, like most other red wines.
