Straw wine

Straw wine, or raisin wine, is a wine made from grapes that have been dried to concentrate their juice. The result is similar to that of the ice wine process, but suitable for warmer climates. The classic method dries clusters of grapes on mats of straw in the sun, but some regions dry them under cover, on roofs, or on modern racks, while some hang up the grapes or leave them to dry on the vine. The technique dates back to pre-Roman times, and most production of these wines has been in Northern Italy, Greece, and the French Alps. However producers in other areas are now starting to experiment with the method.

Straw wines are typically sweet to very sweet white wines, similar in density and sweetness to Sauternes and capable of long life. The low yields and labour-intensive production method means that they are quite expensive. Around Verona red grapes are dried, and are fermented in two different ways to make a dry red wine (Amarone) and a sweet red wine (Recioto della Valpolicella).

A Matter Of Rights

by: Reset

She lived silently in a house near the countryside
her parents knew that it was better there
and just like every week she'd go to town that second day
she didn't know that he'd be waiting there
he stole the one thing that she kept untouched so long
stealing her virginity just made him feel so strong
and all the stupid things he'd done so many times
no one can forgive him cause it's crime
forcing himself into her she tries to scream for help
there's no one close enough to hear her cry
at the time she didn't think of what was coming next
but she was stuck with that unwanted child
her country knew about it
but didn't care about her life
their stupid right wing values
got her life turned upside down
"you've got yourself in this mess
the kid is now part of your life!"
"Tell me would you say the same thing
if our roles were switched around?"
begging for abortion her human rights are still denied
the child inside her wasn't supposed to be there
the right wing says:
it's the child or death yeah
