<< is is common knowledge that if you say any american word loud enough and
often enough any of them forginers should be able to understand it. Vice
versa if you have any forgien word on a bottle of wine it must be good
wine:)
I gues the best reasonis that if your going to drink wines that orginate in
different countries you could at least learn enough of the language to
pronunce the name correctly:) Even a small education in forgein languages
permits youto proonounce the name of most things correctly. Or is that
considered a cosmoplotian attitude?
