...myself by that, I?d be up pretty late watching ESPN43 for mah-jongg tournaments. While cool white people embrace basketball and hip-hop, I see nothing wrong with also celebrating my own blindingly white culture. I like country music, hockey, Nordic myths, the Tour de France, crisp white wine and the movie Ordinary People. Seriously, I needed hockey to make me seem less...
...reveres wine more than the French, but it turns out that even they can have too much of a good thing. The Confederation of French Wine Cooperatives recently asked the European Union for permission to convert 66 million gallons of wine--333 million bottles--into industrial-grade alcohol, including ethanol for French cars. Why? A large grape harvest in 2004 has fed a glut in the French wine market, which is already reeling from tumbling demand. Domestic wine consumption--which makes up 70% of the industry's sales--has dropped sharply in recent years, owing to changing health attitudes...

And that’s not even counting the gain in getting better beer for less...
Other stores, like University Wine, Broadway Market and University Market, have better selections of good beer and much lower prices. If anything, Louie’s closing would give Harvard students no choice but to frequent these other establishments, where better beer comes cheaper and in greater quantity. Freshman now nursing on Busch Light, Milwaukee’s Best—the red-headed stepchildren of real beer—and the occasional uninspiring Corona may one day find themselves exposed to the magic of Sierra Nevada stout and Smutty Nose IPA at a younger age, just because it?...
