[Ansteorra] good norman blood

[HerrDetlef]

Norman wine is ghastly. The only wine worth anything comes from the Loire
valley or from the Arno valley. Some Provencal varieties are nice, but not
all of them. There are some noble attempts in the Mosel region, but these
are hit or miss at best.

Norman wine is proffered by pretentious Vikings who think they're all that
because they speak French.

There is no such thing as English wine. Even the English know that. English
drink Ale the way God himself intended them to. Any Englishman who calls his
potable wares wine is only seeking to exploit the gullible.

It's beer for me, all the way. The darker, the better. I have ancestors who
would come out of the grave and hunt me down if I were to acquire a taste
for wine.

Hwæt! We Gardena         in geardagum,
þeodcyninga,         þrym gefrunon,

Oft Scyld Scefing         sceaþena þreatum,

egsode eorlas.         Syððan ærest wearð
feasceaft funden,         he þæs frofre gebad,

oðþæt him æghwylc         þara ymbsittendra
ofer hronrade         hyran scolde,
gomban gyldan.         þæt wæs god cyning!
