                Yeah, I dont get it. 250,000 people, and a tiny wine growing region on the east bank of the mosel. Chuck in Diekirch and Bofferding lager and thats pretty much it. I would have put the UK up there somewhere too. We consume enough of it, thats for sure.

                      How did they measure that ? By the number of gallon sold, or really drunk ?

                                  My Nom-de-Net is hungarian, it was assumed as a joke when I moved to Hungary in 1997 and it's kinda of hung around. Nagy is a very common surname and the word means Big, and Vilmos is just hungarian for William my real name.
