There is no fat or cholesterol in wine. / The custom of bumping glasses with a cheers greeting came from old Rome where they used this method to make sure no one is trying to poison the other (bumping glasses makes the drink spill from one cup to the other). This tradition started even earlier in ancient Greece where the host was to drink the first cup of wine to show his guests he does not intend to poison them. // The ancient Greeks had a wine glass to ensure the drinker s moderation. If wine was poured above a certain level, the cup spilled its entire contents out of the bottom. /// In an experiment, it was found that wine drinkers paid more for wines with hard to pronounce names. It is particularly interesting to note that participants who knew more about wine were more likely to report that difficult-to-pronounce wines were worth more money.
