Hmm, haven't seen Cypriot wine at my local purveyor. Businessweek just did a write-up on some Greek wines last week. One could assume they would be similar.

Cypriot wines are used as fortifiers in French wine production. They are considered "heavy" (not all of course).

Cypriots are drinking Greek and European wines more and more because of the EU membership.

Wine is another reason why I consider free trade to be more good than bad.

If they're going to call a beverage made from rice a "wine", then I think the Aztecs or Incas could have a claim here. After all, chocolate is made from fermented cocoa seeds.

It was the Tree of Finding out how to Get Drunk and Think You Know Everything.. LOL!!

Maybe the real history is, Adam got drunk on Applejack and told off the Boss..
