As if we didn't have enough on our plate, now we have to combat Oeno-astrology:

I'll volunteer to do the actual taste testing. It's a dirty job, but someone has to do it.

Well, at least this is a tiny bit less harmful than most woo. Though the price of wine may rise a tad as the quality drops.... wait a second! That's seriously criminal!

From the article:
The so-called "lunar effect" has been widely dismissed as pseudo-science but its followers think that as the Moon exerts such a huge impact on the tides, it must follow that it affects the water in the human body and therefore human behaviour. |
This might be true, (if our bodies were as big as the Atlantic Ocean.)
From the article:
The belief that wine can taste different depending on the day it's drunk is not as eccentric as it may sound. All wine experts tend to agree - although their theories on why vary. |
My theory is that wine tends to taste better as its drunk. In fact, by the time we finish off a bottle its downright delicious! |
Diversity, independence, innovation and imagination are progressive concepts ultimately alien to the conservative mind.

I take the copper band off my wrist and put it around a freshly opened bottle of wine for improved taste.
NOT! |
