...would anyone looking for the health benefits of red wine choose a little pill over a nice glass of Pinot Noir? Well, calorie counters or teetotalers might. At least that's what the makers of a bumper crop of new red-wine pills are banking on. The latest entry in the burgeoning wine-supplement market is Longevinex, which boasts that its pills are the only ones that both come in airtight capsules and--mon Dieu!--are made of real red-wine extract from France. Packed into each Longevinex capsule is an active ingredient roughly equivalent to between...
...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. Numbers from the C?tes du Provence region in France, one of the world's main ros?-producing areas, show that exports are on a steady annual increase...
...make only one New Year's resolution, this should be it: ring in 2004 with a single-vineyard champagne.

...type of grape matters. Though South Africa's pinotage grape handles the rigors of air travel well, Pinot Noir varietals are not considered high flyers. "But Australian Shiraz is no trouble at all," says Charles Grossrieder, catering services manager at Cathay Pacific, which serves first-class passengers Taylors St. Andrew Shiraz 1999, among others. And though we're used to thinking of champagne as delicate, it's often the least of an airline's beverage problems. Apart from a few labels, it's rarely spoiled by travel, and Cathay Pacific has no problems dispatching some of the finest bubbly available...
