You guys better stick to either wine making or wine drinking. The time
light takes to traverse a _centi_meter is 1/29979245800 seconds, or
approximately 3.3x10e-11 seconds.

Those decimal errors can cause you big problems in winemaking. I've read
about that sort of thing here more than once - usually when someone adds 10x
as much sulfite as he should have. :^(
