I was so annoyed by this article saying that wine is an unnecessary luxury that I had to object strenuously. Luxury, my eye. When the economy is weak, we need to watch more carefully for value, not just give up.
However, I must apologize for maligning the Puritans. With further research, I found that that their objection was to drunkenness rather than to drink, and indeed there was more beer than water loaded aboard the Mayflower.
Any further insults will be reserved for prohibitionists, separatists and the self-righteous.
