 Wine is not a cure-all and not everyone should drink wine. There are also circumstances when no one should drink any alcohol. When combined with certain prescription drugs, for example, alcohol in any form can produce an adverse reaction. Wine should not be given to people with inflammations of the digestive tract, peptic ulcers, liver disease, pancreatitis, kidney or urinary infections, prostate disorders, epilepsy, or alcoholism. As previously mentioned, pre-menopausal women with a family history of breast cancer should abstain from drinking any alcohol, including wine.

| Only a few tons are produced every year by a small business located in the lush foothills of the French Pyrenees and you won't find it in any high street supermarket. But the cheese made by the Etcheleku family from the milk of their own ewes has beaten off the big boys from Camembert, Stilton and Gouda to be named this year's supreme champion in the World Cheese Awards.

Both products are made from living substances and improve with age, both are a product of fermentation, the process by which yeast cells introduce chemical changes and both reflect their terroir.

| Whether it's large and round with a wide opening, or tall, narrow and tulip-shaped, a wine glass is a vessel built to enhance wine appreciation. Of course, the basic purpose of the glass is to hold liquid, so almost anything will do in a pinch. At European bistros, you might even get your house wine in what looks like a jelly jar. This is rustic and comfortable, and for many wines this will do just fine.
