Re: Buyer Beware: Tainted Mafia Wine (4.00 / 2)

Italian has dropped from the menu--! Only one in a hundred bottles is tainted, maybe less! Chilean I hear is always good--at least some of the money goes to chileans.

And I like the link!

Re: Buyer Beware: Tainted Mafia Wine (none / 0)

I appreciate that trust is essential to consumers, and fragile. But Italian wines being condemned en bloc while Chilean wines get a pass? I wish we could be more rational than that.

You're clearly a dangerous pinko commie pragmatist.

I don' think that's what the poster meant. We all know that upmarket Italian wines are excellent, and unlikely tainted, the trick is to spend up a little more to get a bottle of Barolo or the equivalent.
