Boron,

As well, the AA folks probably weren't around when the French created all
the classic French cuisine using wine and worse... brandy? Flambe (is
that French?)?

And why wasn't WW crying BUTTTER?!?!?!? Ad nauseam.

AA was probably new to the game and wanted a moment in the sun but it
obviously didn't change the show and when she had a sip of wine on the
show SHE DAMM WELL EARNED IT! Imho,

Andy
