...come from Britain. In 1831, a young Englishman, Joseph James Forrester, came to Porto, learned Portuguese, mapped the Douro region, wrote treatises on grape growing and exhorted the wine growers to stop adulterating their wines with sugar, elderberry and brandy. That legacy lives on in the large, dark, cool cave of Graham's, part of the Symington group and typical of the lodges open to tourists. Visitors learn every step of the wine-making process while taking in the strong smell of aging wine and grand views of the old city of Porto across the river. The lodges are open...
...British and Portuguese wine producers continued to flourish side by side. Their vineyards adjoined on the steep, schist hillsides along the banks of the Douro River from its mouth on the Atlantic all the way up to the Spanish border.

Even in the best of cases, says CDG director René Brun, 2E will remained closed for "months, even a year." The crash has even further-reaching business ripples. For years...
...slope over 230 m in pursuit of a wheel of cheese? It's a small miracle that none of the scores of locals who have been taking part each May at Cooper's Hill in Gloucestershire has been killed. But broken collarbones and crushed vertebrae are painfully common, and cave-rescue teams stand by to extricate the wounded. And the prize? The cheese. The very purpose of such antics is to defy explanation. "It's a ritual, innit?" is the best any of these Olimpians can come up with, and Daeschner wisely avoids proposing any fancier theories. Instead he joins...
...taking an antibiotic, you should always take the full course, even if you start feeling better before finishing the regimen; otherwise you are just adding to the resistance problem. And please don't insist that your doctor give you an antibiotic when it isn't necessary. Many doctors will cave under pressure, but you shouldn't put them in that position. They really do know what is good...
