You might be reading a little too much into a smiley, Anatolian - noones condemning you least of Anna.
(You won't find a nicer fairer or more long serving person here, btw).
You clearly like cooking with wine. That's your call and it seems to have worked for you for many years.
I think Anna has a great point tho, it's a position I share, and it's what I'd recommend to anyone wondering about this issue.
Frankly, I think there's something for everyone to think about in what she said.
As the OP has made a decision, and we seem to be going round in circles now, this thread is closed.
