O.M.G...

Now this is one train I'm going to have to take at least 5 different times... for each one of the different courses they offer! (* LMAO *)

I love trains and I love wine... this is the best of both worlds! (* BIG GRIN *)

I could spend an entire month riding up and down this train line! Not to mention visiting every single vineyard along the way at least once each... perhaps even more than once each! (* LMAO *)

FWIW

I deleted this message, this forum is not for discussing how to use colors for                   commerical use!

I hate wine, [gag] spoiled grape juice, Welch's chilled the best.

LOL... it's actually fermented and not spoiled grapes!

But, not everybody likes wine. I do however.

Been drinking it since I was 6... (* LOL *)

But don't get me wrong... I had my first taste of wine at 6 when visiting my German grandparent's house back in 1964. The water pipes were pre-WWI and the water was not drinkable. So they served table wine instead of water. Of course, that was only for about 10 days and I didn't have wine again until after I was 18, but that was my first taste!

FWIW

Fermented means 'spoiled' grape juice. It's natural nutrition and sweetness 'spoiled' by the device of man turning it into other than as created. 

"But grape juice cannot be preserved except by fermentation."

Not true. :]-

Wine is fermented by adding yeast... but adding the wrong yeast like some wild yeasts is unpredictable and can lead to spoilage. But adding the right yeasts, can lead to predictable and delicious wines. So, spoilage and fermentation are different.

Edited to add: I am a wine connoisseur and have my own wine forum, albeit, it's not very active right now: Wines (delphiforums.com)

FWIW
