I saw a sign in someones front yard in Alabama that said muscadines and skuppercones for sale. Muscadines are grapes but I dont have a clue to what a skuppercone is. It has to be a regional thing down there I guess.

Someone told me that wine is alot healthier than drinking alcohol or beer… Whats the difference between red and white wine?

I want to know what they do to make white wine and what they do to make red wine. It may sound daft, but i’ve heard two different explanations and would like the truth. thanks.

A friend and I have gotten into a disagreement over this. I say from what I understand, two glasses of red wine per day is good for one’s health in various ways, including protecting the cardio vascular system, lowering cholestrol and helping prevent against certain cancers. He says this is not so and that not drinking two glasses of red a day isn’t better than drinking two glasses a day. Can anyone clarify? Also, would the supposed benefit not apply to people in their late twenties (i.e. me!)? Thanks!

Let’s face it, English is a stupid language.
There is no egg in the eggplant.
No ham in the hamburger.
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England.
And French fries were not invented in France.

We sometimes take English for granted.
But if we examine its paradoxes we find that
Quicksand takes you down slowly,
Boxing rings are square
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.

If writers write, how come fingers don’t fing?
If the plural of tooth is teeth,
Shouldn’t the plural of phone booth be phone beeth?
If the teacher taught,
Why didn’t the preacher praught?

If a vegetarian eats vegetables,
What the heck does a humanitarian eat?
Why do people recite at a play,
Yet play at a recital?
Park on driveways and
Drive on parkways?
How can the weather be as hot as hell on one day
And as cold as hell on another?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house can burn up as
It burns down.
And in which you fill in a form,
By filling it out.
And a bell is only heard once it goes!

English was invented by people, not computers.
And it reflects the creativity of the human race.
(Which of course isn’t a race at all)

That is why,
When the stars are out, they are visible
But when the lights are out, they are invisible
And it’s why when I wind up my watch,
It starts.
But when I wind up this poem,
It ends.

Hi. I feel terrible cuz I’ve been trying to get a six pack? But yesterday I tried to get this chick drunk and in the process I drank a whole bottle of red wine or merlot or whatever. So any idea how many calories that is?

Where can I buy Muscadine wine in NYC?
NO OTHER WINE..just MUSCADINE..not Muscat..and not anything else.
I tried a couple very good wineries but no one has it.
I KNOW I can order it online but if you know where in NYC I can BUY it then lemme know pleasee.

Is it true that Resveratrol can make you look younger?

Red zinfandel,pinot noir,merlot or syrah and the name of the wine?

Is there any reason for not tasting red wine at a cold temperature? Why is white and rose wine served cold?

On todays episode Dr. Oz, they were talking about Anti-aging Secrets. One of the things they were talking about was Resveratrol. Dr. Oz says that he takes 500mg of Resveratrol and then showed a green capsule. Does anyone know the name of this pill? Thank You

I routinely cook with white wine, but rarely use red wine in cooking (except in making beef burgundy). If a recipe for a beef stew or beef roast calls for the addition of red wine, what kind of wine do you use? A merlot? A cabernet? Or is there something else? Will any inexpensive domestic red wine work?

The English Language: Have you ever wondered why foreigners have trouble with the English Language?. Let’s face it. English is a crazy language. There is no egg in the eggplant, no ham in the hamburger, and neither pine nor apple in the pineapple. English muffins were not invented in England. French fries were not invented in France.

please star this, i want more people to read it

I have often heard of White Wine sauce for Pasta or Chicken Medallions…

Is there such a thing as a Red Wine Sauce or Dip?

A friend recently brought red wine for dinner and since it was not yet cold, we put it in the freezer. When it was time to open the bottle with a cork screw, nobody could do it! We ended up using two can openers, a pair of scissors, a skewer and a hammer to force down the cork instead of forcing it out of the bottle. What should we have done?

I drank some red wine last night and saw these little flakes at the bottom of the glass as I nearly ended my glass.

I have a Muscadine Ison, here in South Florida. If I’m lucky enough to get flowers, when might I expect them?

I recently went to a Quizno’s store and saw that they use a dressing on their sandwiches called red wine vinagrette…Is that true? Is it really wine?

I spilled a glass of Red Wine on a friend’s bed. It’s been there for a few days. It bleed through the comforter, blanket, sheets, all the way down to the matress. Is there any cleaning agent or chemical that can get rid of the stain? I want to avoid spending too much money. I don’t want to have to buy new sheets. Is there a solution?

We’ll begin with a box, and the plural is boxes; but the plural of ox became oxen not oxes.

One fowl is a goose, but two are called geese, yet the plural of moose should never be meese.

You may find a lone mouse or a nest full of mice; yet the plural of house is houses, not hice.

If the plural of man is always called men, why shouldn’t the plural of pan be called pen?

If I spoke of my foot and show you my feet, and I give you a boot, would a pair be called beet?

If one is a tooth and a whole set are teeth, why shouldn’t the plural of booth be called beeth?
Then one may be that, and three would be those, yet hat in the plural would never be hose, and the plural of cat is cats, not cose.
We speak of a brother and also of brethren; but, though we say mother, we never say methren. Then the masculine pronouns are he, his and him, but imagine the feminine, she, shis and shim.

I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?
I spent last evening evening out a pile of dirt.
Let’s face it – English is a crazy language. Screwy pronunciations can mess up your mind! For example…

If you have a rough cough, climbing can be tough when going hrough the bough on a tree!
There is no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren’t invented in England nor French fries in France.
Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren’t sweet, are meat.
We take English for granted. But if we explore its paradoxes

We find that quicksand can work slowly, boxing rings are square.
A guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
Why is it that writers write but fingers don’t fing, grocers don’t groce, and hammers don’t ham?
Doesn’t it seem crazy that you can make amends but not one amend?
If you have a bunch of odds and ends and get rid of all but one of them, what do you call it?
If teachers taught, why didn’t preachers praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?
Sometimes I think all the folks who grew up speaking English should be committed to an asylum for the verbally insane.

In what language do people recite at a play and play at a recital?
Ship by truck and send cargo by ship?
Have noses that run and feet that smell?

How can a slim chance and a fat chance be the same, while a wise man and a wiseguy are opposites?
You have to marvel at the unique lunacy of a language in which your house can burn up as it burns down, in which you fill in a form by filling it out, and in which an alarm goes off by going on.

English was invented by people, across the ages, and it reflects the creativity of the human race (which, of course, isn’t a race at all).

That is why, when the stars are out, they are visible, but when the lights are out, they are invisible.

What are the benefits and disadvantages of drinking red wine on a regular basis? I usually drink one or two glasses with my dinner.

I’d want some large broiled Maine lobsters with plenty of salted hotel butter to drench them in. Put some Ipswich clams, Mobile oysters, sashimi, Edgefield "Georgia Bell" peaches in heavy cream, my Mom’s boiled peanuts, a few muscadines, a cup of Mexican seviche,some Hooters Buffalo wings and freshly baked Italian bread from Genoa on the side.

I’ll wash it all down with some sparkling German spring water. No need to get drunk and miss the look on your executioner’s face.
