"Wine is part of the food chain. In France and Italy, people dont drink wine to get drunk, they drink wine as a part of the meal, its makes the food more pleasant...
there isnt anything evil about it, its a part of the food"
Julia Childs - upon her return from France and Germany, adjusting from her ex-pat lifestyle convincing others in America in the 1960's that wine drinking wasnt a sin - it was a part of the European art of gastronomique.
Unfortunately, she had no impact on the South - it's still a sin to imbibe in many places here!
