Beans are soaked and I'll be doing a version of Tomato-White Bean Soup
- not sure what else, I'm fighting off a cold at the moment. Time for
another cough suppressant.

LOL!.....

Reminds me of the time when I was still learning about wine. Went to
a local vineyard that specialized in Syrahs and Pinot noirs, for a
tasting. I asked for a red that was "chewy". They gave me a PN that
was to-die-for. Then another lady --who was probably as dumb as
myself-- asked me, "Is chewy a proper wine term?" I never answered
her, thinking what a dolt she was asking about the rather clever term
I'd jes made up on the spur of the moment. What was even funnier is,
I later learned "chewy" is, indeed, a proper wine description term.
That, or I actually did invent a new term and didn't realize it.

If you mean: "What is a cl"
A "cl" or centilitre = 10cc, i.e., 1/100th of a litre (NOT LITER)
Now that's not hard, is it?

"Liter" is a volumetric measure. No such thing as a "cubic liter".

My wife prefers the Merlot or the Cab Syrah.

I'm not much of a wino so I can't say which is good or bad. I do get

I would suspect so..though I have seen them totally separate from
Woolworths supermarkets. I used to use them three years ago because they
were much more convenient than Dan Murphy. Now Dan Murphy is closer by a
small margin and the prices are a tad better.

No, it's the tax factor. Half the price is taxes (excise duty and
VAT).
