I inherited my love of wine from my late grandfather who would drink a lamitzana of red wine each night. He lived to be 104 years old.
As a young boy I used to visit him and help crush the grapes the traditional way, shoes off and jump up and down on the grapes.
My late wife never touched a drop, did not smoke either, very English in her ways and very selective in what she ate. She died of cancer age 63. My late sister too, a non drinker, non smoker, she too died of cancer age 63.
My late father passed away age 83, he would have lived much longer but was a very stubborn man and did not believe in modern medicine, antibiotics, flue injections etc. He died of pneumonia.
I'm now 69 and a half, relatively healthy apart from my diabetes and prostate cancer ,and of late acute sciatica
Red wine will one day be offered on the NHS , a glass a day
Certain pleasurable physical activities naturally diminish as one gets older, thankfully I partake in such activities at least ....once a year
Three things happen as one gets older.
First your memory becomes less acute.
Second and third I cant quite remember right now
