With my CHF, I've had to be very careful about such things but with the

recent good news, I decided to allow myself to relax the rule a bit. The

only problem I have is finding a wine that I can drink in small amounts

without much waste. Once a bottle is opened, the wine is either poured in

the glass or down the drain and THAT'S no fun. I've never tried making my

own (plenty of other things to keep me busy of late) but that might be an

idea for some time as well.
