Somehow, I doubt that either you or I have, or ever will have first hand 
experience with the "other Coke."  At least I hope we won't.

I'm not much of a wine drinker.  More accurately, I'm almost a non wine 
drinker.  I can drink beer, hard liquor, whatever, with the best of them, at 
least for a while, but wine does me in quickly.  I know I've had the first 
glass and after two, I normally refrain from driving.  It hits me that hard.

Having said that, it should be little surprise that I find Retsina to have a 
pleasant flavor.  Go figure.
