The History channel is going to have a program about wine tonight. It's part of their Modern Marvels series if anyone is familiar with that...
Edit: here's a blurb from the website: (i'm not sure what time zone they're listing)
Modern Marvels : Wine. Airs on Wednesday November 29 08:00 PM
Aglass a day is said to keep the doctor away. A defeated Napoleon drowned his sorrows in it; Thomas Jefferson became obsessed with it. Wine is an integral part of our culture and more wine is consumed today than ever before. Supermarket shelves that once carried only box wine and jugs are now lined with wines from Australia, Chile, and South Africa. Aerial imaging and infrared photography once used by NASA to map the moon is now employed by wineries to analyze soil, vine vigor, and even disease. Payingtribute to wine's unique historywe willtravel the world over to explore wineries, the worlds' most historic wine cellar and a legendary Paris restaurant.Edited by: sangwitch
