There are different kinds of wine because there are different grape
varieties made into wine. This "martini" is part of the "new millenium
yuppie" syndrome. Think Appletini's. Adding fruit juice to vodka does not
a martini make, I don't care what Oprah and Rachel Ray say. I like vodka
and cranberry juice; it doesn't make it a cranberry martini.
