Default Wine buys.

thanks a lot... and even better than free, if the s/r cooperates i can read
it all by myself... I am interestedto see if i am a cheap drunk, or just a
trailer drinker... i am sure i am above a bum wino... but until now all i
did was taste and if in my range i bought if i liked it... never considered
collecting or anything but i am interested more in that now.
