Did you ever wonder, as a child, if the land of milk and honey was really as idyllic as it sounds? Is it really that great to have a roast chicken in your mouth every time, poof!, even when you just want to yawn or laugh out loud? And is it really that great when it rains honey (of all things!)?

Anyone who stands in front of the wine shelf (and does not consider themselves a connoisseur) is often quite overwhelmed. So many names! So many quality specifications!
