US wine "enthusiasts" should take a cue from European wine lovers, who enjoy wine in general and see no need for it to alter their social status. Funny, their beer lovers are very similar.

But your question makes a point. In <em>American Vintage</em> Paul Lukacs points out the Thunderbird fortified wine was the best seller in the United States in the 1950s. Winemakers have upgraded their customer base and image just a bit since. They got a 25 (or so) year head start. Winos are still around aren’t they?

They're feeding their #'s with the rabid backlash from the internet beer world. These pieces, and their hosts, should be treated like the National Inquirer. Have any truly reputable news sources produced such trivial filth degrading the name of beer? I would bet there's not many. This latest piece is just a shameless cry for attention. Not to mention the fact this is poorly written. Winner all around! Go Jennifer! Smart marketing for true crapbag media outlets no?
