From: Chris Heiny <Heiny.henr@Parc-Maxc.ARPA> "Why shouldn't people drink sherry? Sherry is produced in the Xeres region of Spain (hence its name). If Spain were Moslem, there would be no sherry, since the Quran prohibits the manufacture and use of alcoholic beverages." Just because the Quran prohibits this, doesn't mean that people wouldn't make and use them (people still use opiates in the US, the cultivation and processing of which is illegal in Thailand and Turkey). Sherry could be a famous bootleg liquor, probably overrated because of its mystique. Chris
