Agreed, and you can see how red wine can make a lot things attractive. Long time no hear...so how has it being going? :-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Andy Lacey Sent: Thursday, March 29, 2012 10:41 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] OT: Too much time on their hands Jeez what a waste of red wine.

An aside: I have always wondered why I am drawn toward marinated beef especially with red wine. Now we have the answer.

They found that other alcoholic drinks also worked - white wine, beer, sake and so on - but red wine was by far the best. The question, of course, is why. What is it about red wine that does the trick? Today, these guys provide an answer - at least in part. Keita Deguchi at the National Institute for Materials Science in Tsukuba, Japan, and a few buddies, say the mystery ingredient is tartaric acid and have the experimental data to show that it plays an important role in the process. ... It turns out the best performer is a wine made from the gamay grape - for the connoisseurs, that's a 2009 Beajoulais from the Paul Beaudet winery in central France.'"* -- Arthur Cell: 647.710.1314 Prediction is difficult, especially of the future. -- Niels Bohr _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com _______________________________________________ dba-Tech mailing list dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com
