Winemakers' Cavalier Approach to Procreation

The Economist recently (23rd November) ran a front cover headline which read: "China: who's in, Hu's out".

I laughed myself silly at such a bad and insensitive play on words.

And so subject lines like the following one from the Winemakers' Federation of Australia's self-same email are to be encouraged:

"Winemakers already moving on pregnancy warnings"

One can only wonder where these winemakers are all moving to?

My uncle lost an old mate to Alice Springs once, when the latter's romantic life became a little hectic, but I can't think what winemakers would do in such a town.
