It seems they may be. Current statistics still show that Americans on average drink less than five gallons of wine per year, compared with fifty gallons of soft drinks. That's about one-tenth of the wine that an average Italian or French person consumes, where wine accompanies almost every meal of any consequence. Yet there are signs that more and more North Americans are beginning to enjoy wine with meals, and wine on its own. Wine tasting groups are emerging in our communities.
Wine is featured more and more in television cooking shows.
Wine festivals and events are being fruitfully explored as a vehicle for community interaction and socializing. Wines on the Internet hopes to provide a valuable service to the Internet user community through information about wines and wineries, as well as public service listings of wine-related events. Our vision is to contribute to the ongoing personal and social enjoyment of good and great wines into the 21st century. Thanks for joining us.
