'Petrol' is the British word for gasoline, yes?

Thanks Jeff, that was very interesting. That bit about the binding of terpenes to sugars was completely unknown to me.

And it's good to see a wine writer with at least a modicum of skepticism regarding the current state of wine chemistry.

Thanks. Enjoyed that.

Yes.

That's what I thought.

In British lorries is the petrol tank closer to the boot or the bonnet?

 

[Jeff Grossman]

Das Boot.
