actually normally I have the wine to help me nod off.
- comparable alcohol-amount of beer meant getting up to go to the loo,
- tried spirits: coz of plane dehydrating too easy to overdo - no fun on landing: collect bags, customs etc.

I buy vineyards, not bottles. Much more economical.

Nothing. I don't drink wine. Not even when it is free.

Zero.
Don't drink, at all.

Five Liters @ US$17, more or less. Fortunately, I only have a taste for good scotch. Wine's a much more expensive indulgence - sure - I can taste a difference - but it's not worth any money to me.
So - for a 750ml bottle we're talking roughly about £2.0

Depends on the purpose. Anywhere between $10 and $250.
I cook with it more than I drink it, but, if I don't like the taste drinking it, I don't cook with it either.
Come to think of it, I've got a bottle of Black Star Farms ACapella ice wine in the fridge right now. Thanks for the reminder!

Buying it or drinking it?
It feels like I spend more time deciding which one to buy.

How expectations change, when we first arrived in Singapore we were horrified that a cheap drinkable bottle of wine was $20-30 (approx 15 of your currency) at the supermarket a good bottle started around $50. The minimum at a restaurant was $100 and went up rapidly.
Having returned to Oz the prices have become more reasonable
Quaffer approx $10
Good table wine $20
Special occasion $50
Restaurant $50
And these are generally old world wines as we find the Oz wines too sweet.

What do you mean, he endangers himself? I thought that 'No means no'. Equal rights in action, I would say.
A gentleman, of course, would 'voluntarily' forget both the words 'equal' and 'rights', but I never really got why anyone would do that. That's why I'm probably not a gentleman and actually happy about it.

Awesome.
Not that I'm a gamer (anymore), but I keep hearing about how the gaming landscape has changed and how it's all about nickel-and-diming these days. And I want no part of that.

What I mean with this cryptic question:
Do you treat the first part of software versioning (i.e. "2.4") like a decimal number or do you simply "count up"?
If treated as decimal, it would mean, that "2.4" is equal to "2.40" (like a decimal number is equal), if you count up, not.
Decimal version flow:
2.1 followed by hotfix 2.11, 2.12, etc
Next minor release after 2.1 can be 2.2 (= 2.20)
Count up:
2.1 followed by 2.2, ... ... 2.8, 2.9, 2.10, 2.11 and so on
I hope I could explain, what I mean.
How do software versions evolve in your minds?

Count up, definitely. The dot is a separator not a decimal point.

Count up...
In cases that my code is an extension for 3rd party I use 4 parts - 2 for the version of the targeted 3rd part and 2 for mine... but still count up in mine...

MS tells do this: <major version>.<minor version>.<build number>.<revision> and I do it. I do not consider "." as decimal.

With more than two levels it becomes hard to argue for the dot being a decimal point.
Unless you are British and old enough to long back to the shillings.
