"The Mendoza festival was marking its 90th year as domestic wine consumption in Argentina plummeted to an all-time low of 15.7 liters (4.1 gallons) per person in 2025, according to the National Institute of Viticulture, or INV. Compare that to 1970, when Argentines consumed as much as 90 liters (24 gallons) per person annually. Furthermore, 1,100 vineyards have shut down across the country and 3,276 hectares (8095 acres) of grape production have vanished."
90 liters is 10 cases = 108 bottles so almost 3 a week, now its like 3 large glasses a week.
dat ass!!!

meanwhile, checked the knicks score as long as i was avoiding the oscar nonsense. they are playing a team with all their starters either sitting or injured and are down nine at the half. they did the same the other night against a team that had lost 11 straight and came back and won but i think that team had even more to lose for. tanking is a big issue in the nba right now. teams with no chance losing for better draft odds. tonights opponents are technically still in the playoff hunt so not necessarily trying to lose. would really be an ugly loss for the knicks who are a very good team on some nights but dont feel like championship contenders which they tell me is the goal. they pretty much sucked for two decades so fans should be happy they are relevant but who wants to be happy when you can be ecstatic for like an hour if your team wins it all.
guess im not gonna watch the oscars this year but will follow along for the major categories on social media now.
saw that sean penn won over the dude from sinners which all things considered is kind of a shame.
weird. posted this empty because i was just trying to see if i could get the google reading mode to work on the article i posted in comments and now cant edit original blank post without engaging source although now that its up i can.
watched the first 5 eps of paradise on hulu? wasnt blown away by season one, another post apocalyptic bunker drama. sterling k brown is the lead and he is pretty compelling. season 2 has been better i think as the world got bigger least least interesting ep was a throwback to events inside the mountain city.
anyway, feels like slim pickings lately to this was appropriately diverting.
