My husband and I are not drinkers, never have been. I come from an Italian family, bad experiences with this stuff. I just really don't like the taste.

My cousin who is a very devout Christian came up with an excellent alternative several years ago.

It's called sparkling grape juice. It comes in flavors called Spumanti, Cold Duck and Pink Catawba to name a few. The kids can drink it and so can people who take meds. It looks elegant served in your lovely crystal stemware.

But oh God, wait 'til my brother sees it tomorrow on my dining room table! [Frown]
