It's what puts a lot of people off frankly. I wish people could appreciate it without having to dumb it down into a stupid critter on a bottle or the opposite, a wine so freakin' special that people won't drink it, they just show it to people to prove what an excellent collector they are.<BR/><BR/>I hold the people in the LIQUOR trade squarely responsible for flooding the market with crap that has cutesy labels while farmers who have a tradition of artisinal winemaking in their families for centuries get squeezed out but giant conglomerates.

China views Taiwan as a renegade state, and has been quietly be preparing to spank the USN's Pacific fleet.<BR/><BR/>Right now, China would actually have a conventional advantage (i.e., until we break out the nukes). Instead of spending the R+D to develop countermeasures to the Sunburn missile, we instead parade around in a sandbox in Iraq. The Sunburn missile is one of the few weapons for which the US has no countermeasure (even the Aegis destroyer cannot stop it). China has been buying these hand over fist from the Russians. <BR/><BR/>The ballistic missile shield is about China, and if you analyze the specs, is meant to shield CONUS from a strike by a state with 100 - 200 ICBMs (when fully operational). Too small for the Soviets, too large for North Korea / Iran, just right for China.<BR/><BR/>I could go on, but I digress.
