We make our own wine and it's not too strong. While on my one month camping trip, Hubby and i have been buying wine in the store and doing our normal sharing with dinner. Store bought wine deserves a little respect... I've decided to treat it as if it were a liqueur and sip it slowly and enjoy each taste. i have to admit the Americans have great wine. I didn't know that. We've bought local dry red wine from all the states we've visited and I am impressed. Strong though compared to ours. So I drink a bottle of water at regular intervals and try to just sip at the wine's intense fruity taste. That's my way of staying moderate on this trip. Hubby hasn't caught on and is drinking the bulk of the bottle which is what I want. Moving forward with this moderation thing would have been virtually impossible without the help of the people on this site. Thanks Gang.. for all your advice and encouragement.

Thanks Betty Boop. Understand your mistake IAD. Sort of proud of myself these days. Thought the vacation would brink out the bender in me. Opposite happened. Even lost weight. Maybe it's the heat. Very hot here in South Dakota... Take care..Tipplerette

Sorry IAD, i prob didn't read it right, I was just protecting our moderators here cos they get more than their fair share of abuse, especially as RJ started this site as a place for people wanting to moderate their drinking rather than stop .........
Anyway Vent over ......... Hope you know that I still
