I had better come back at all these comments and perhaps in retrospect my
response was unwarranted.

For that I apologise.

You see, the reason for my response was the, I quote, " Sorry if these
questions are too simple for this group."
To me it was a clear indication of what I call a "stirrer" or if you like a
troll!. I may be wrong and if so I make my apologies again ------- but the
original poster hasn't yet responded to any posts on this string.

I say, yet again, that the Clinistix available in UK, on prescription, for
Diabetics to test their "sugar levels" in urine, are extremely unreliable in
detecting variation in "blood sugars" and I would not imagine using my
"Accu-Check Active" meter to test my wine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I suspect that my
taste buds, on my tongue, would be better! However I do not drink wine that
has not been fermented to dryness --- others are offered to "wine
uneducated" guests ( and I do not mean that to be disparaging but wine
drinking is an acquired talent )

However, in any case, you will shortly have the happy event of my absence
from this NG for a couple of months. On Friday 26 March I leave home at
about 0900 hrs ( GMT ) to begin my cycling pilgrimage, 2000 km, on the road,
and camping, to Santiago de Compostela in Spain and I hope to celebrate my
67 birthday in Santiago. All by bicycle except from Portsmouth to St Malo
(in Brittany).

So I shall not be putting my foot in it again until about mid June!
