In vino veritas

Do you drink wine?
And do you also buy it at the supermarket?
These five recommendations might interest you.

1. White wine should not be older than two years.
2. If the wine has won awards or a medal, this is a sign of better quality. Someone with expertise has tested it here.
3. In Germany, the AP number is indicated on bottles. The last two digits indicate the year of bottling.
4. Most special offers are at the bottom of the shelf. But with wine, this can mean cheap goods - a headache.
5. If a discounter makes an effort and correctly labels its wine selections, explaining origin and taste, then this market can be trusted more than a mere "product display."

A word to those over 100 years old

Today I read a newspaper headline at the kiosk: Thousands of centenarians to blame for health insurance deficits!
Well, hello, the cat's finally out of the bag. What many have always suspected, for example, the government, health insurance companies, and even pension funds, have no interest in citizens getting "too old."
Ideal age to die:
1. From the perspective of the pension fund: 65 years
2. From the perspective of the health insurance companies: when a certain level of medical treatment costs is reached.
3. From the perspective of the government: anyone who doesn't pay taxes is basically superfluous

The way lies are spread about aging is demonstrated by an example on Web.de. It actually states, "...that lifestyle has relatively little influence on individual life expectancy." A study in the USA supposedly found this. According to the study, longevity depends solely on genes. So, smoke free! Have a drink now and then, and those few pounds of fat will be comfortable... And exercise is also harmful; it just wears out your bones.
