They may have seemed vaguely exotic a decade ago, but these days we take for granted the presence of Chilean and Argentine wines on supermarket shelves. Can any other South American wine-producing country achieve that level of international acceptance, and if so, which one? The answer may[an error occurred while processing this directive] be Uruguay. The reason is that the country has a niche virtually all to itself, and that's Tannat - an obscure grape originally grown in southwestern France, and brought to Uruguay in 1870. If you're a winemaker, having a little-known but delicious varietal...
Mercury contamination is a pervasive problem that must be tackled at the supermarket and the source [Sept. 11]. Whole Foods, Safeway and Wild Oats have voluntarily posted government warnings about mercury in fish. But other companies should follow suit and let customers know which fish contain high levels of mercury. Few people are aware that chlorine plants emit more mercury on average than coal-fired power plants. Technology to eliminate mercury in chlorine processes is already used by 90% of the industry, but six plants still use and release mercury unnecessarily. Mercury release could be cut substantially if they...
Obsessive celeb watchers can already buy Heidi Klum's diaper bag and Shaq's car stereo. So we guess it was just a matter of time before more prosaic star acquisitions--like produce and junk food--became public.

This "aeroponic" system--a sort of electronic hydroponic garden, in which the roots of plants grow in water without soil--makes even the darkest kitchen counter a fertile plain. Using the AeroGarden is foolproof: plug it in, fill the basin with water, pop in the seedpods and watch things grow. The unit has a lighting system that cycles...
...cheerfulness--plus the 30-minute meals she created back when her job was doing demos for a supermarket--that she has based an empire on. So far, it includes more than half a dozen best-selling books, the Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine, four Food Network shows, a line of cookware and an olive oil. "She reminds me of Julia Child," says Wolfgang Puck, the celebrated Los Angeles chef whose back Ray is rubbing even though they just met an hour ago. "She has a completely different personality, but the message is the same. The message...
