I've always liked the metric system;
Me too (French wines, as well), but it depends on what I'm doing. I can't imagine doing chemistry using English measures, but like to use inches, halves, sixteenths, etc. when building houses, and prefer having both standards available.

I prefer more practical measurements. Can, 6-pack, case. Now if I have to accommodate the Metric system, I'm OK with 1-liter cans.
