list of driest to sweetest--red and white

[Botafogo]

Foodie, consider this:

if you think you cannot get a hangover with wine, let me send you a magnum of Amarone for research..... Maybe it's not the "I will NEVER drink again as long as I live if only the floor will stop spinning" type you get from tequila but a throbbing head, cottonmouth and immense feeling of dehydration are definately on the menu if you drink even a little too much of highly extracted wines, don't eat enough and don't drink at least twice as much volume of water as wine.

As to "booze" we're talking slang and regional dialect there, not a solid "definition".

I am SO sensitive on this as all day long idiots who were working for Procter and Gamble or Marlboro last week are standing in front of me trying to redefine EVERYTHING from the scale of a winery ("it's a small family winery, they make 100, 000 cases of Chardonnay and just 25,000 cases of Merlot"), origin of the fruit ("it's made from the young vines at Ornelaia" but it says ON THE LABEL in Italian that it is bottled FOR Ornelaia from the Coop down the road), or worse. It drives me CRAZY!

Foodie, do you see this from your reps, Roberto
