...decades, ros? has been scorned as the drink of wine illiterates. Universally, if unfairly, identified with cheap, rounded bottles of Mateus Ros? (apparently a favorite tipple of Saddam Hussein), it's now making a comeback in slick, new guises as winemakers attempt to second-guess a fickle market. Pinot Noir is no longer trendy, Riesling had a short-lived spell of cachet?ros? could be the new flavor of the month.

"Actually, I think one of the yachts has a helipad on it," says Schlesinger. "Considering we really didn't expect anybody to pay any attention to a record by us this year...

It found that moderate alcohol intake (one or two drinks a day) did not lower middle-aged drinkers' risk of having a stroke, as previously reported, and may actually cause the brain to shrink. Maybe the StairMaster is better than that second glass of wine after...
