Wine VS. Beer...
Most Americans agree: Studies show that wine has now surpassed beer as the most frequently consumed tipple. Back in 1992, a Gallup poll found that 47 percent of drinkers usually drank beer and only 27 percent wine. A similar poll in 2005 found that wine had nosed ahead of beer: 39 percent versus 36 percent. The future looks even brighter, according to research company International Wine and Spirit Record. It predicts that America will become the largest wine-consuming country in the world by 2009. (France, the traditional leader, will fall to third place, with Italy hanging on at No. 2.)

Thanks for sharing that with us. It's nice to know that we're a part of a shrinking band of macho dudes and chicks that are turned on by hops, rather than being a member of the growing population of glass-swirling, cork-smelling, label-reading, drink-sipping pseudointellectual wimps that get off on grapes. The path less traveled has its own rewards.
