Subject: Re: my trash can is too efficiant
Hi, Megan!
Here's the article you mislaid!
Cousin Kezia
I was browsing through the ever fun 'About Urban Legends' website
(www.urbanlegends.about.com) (and if you've never been there before, make
sure you have all afternoon/evening to spare - it's great fun!) looking for
some info to disprove yet another email I'd been sent.... you all know the
ones I mean, the ones with the latest warning about not
buying/eating/drinking whatever .... when I came across a reference to blood
in wine. Just as well I didn't have a mug of coffee by the computer at the
time, or the poor beastie would have been the one drinking it! Of course, I
*had* to click on that link and read more!
Here's the text I found (which actually came from their sister site,
www.wine.about.com):
Blood in Troubled Wines
You've heard the story, perhaps from BusinessWeek or another source.
Europe banned genetically modified crops coming from the US. In retaliation,
the US decided to ban wines that had blood added to them. Consumers panic -
what do they MEAN blood is in wine??
First, let's explain what blood was historically used for in wine, centuries
ago. Wine back then, just like beer and cider of the age, was extremely
cloudy and full of extra 'stuff'. To drag out the extra proteins, wineries
would use a clarifying, or fining agent. This agent could be clay, egg
whites, or yes, sometimes blood. The substance would fall through the wine,
attracting the proteins as it went. The resulting larger clumps could then
be kept separate from the wine.
In modern times, fining is used only on certain wines. It can be done with
egg whites, chemicals or inert clays. Most wine drinkers don't even think
about fining agents at all, since the material is removed from the wine long
before the wine is bottled. Fining is not used only in wine. Fining is also
done to many beer types, to keep the beer crystal clear and fresh looking.
This fining and clarifying is quite different than filtering. You can filter
but not fine, or fine but not filter. Filtering uses filter paper, usually,
and is done on a size-of-object basis. It uses the same principle as a water
filter does on a faucet.
Is blood used in current times? First off, it is explicitly illegal
to use blood in both the US and France, and is extremely uncommon in other
countries. Most wineries would choose to use other agents, such as egg
whites. Bordeaux is known for its use of egg whites.
So drink your French wine without fear! Blood is not used, fining is
something done only to certain wines, and the fining agents are removed
anyway. Vegans might be concerned over the use of egg whites as a fining
agent, since some small amount of egg white might remain in the wine. For
most people, the use of fining agents is just one more interesting part of
the winemaking process to learn about and understand.

Thanks to everyone who liked the FK fanfiction catalog and wrote me that! We
have never thought about a submission form, but the webmaster gets up soon, and
I forward him this request. I'm sure he will come up with a solution. Until
then, if I missed your stories, just write me, and tell me every information you
want to have about them in the catalog.

Yes, I read that too, but when I went to Sony's site as indicated on
the advertisement on the davisdvd site.
http://www.sonypictures.com/cthe/dvd/tvpoll
Forever Knight is not among the choices for the poll. I don't know
where the davis dvd people are getting their info.
