That would make sense except for the fact that the master of the banquet after tasting the wine, called the bridegroom aside and said "Everyone brings out the choice wine first and then the cheaper wine after the guests have had too much to drink; but you have saved the best till now."

Amongst the seven deadly sins including pride, avarice, lust, anger, gluttony, envy, and sloth, I do not find drunkenness. The pilgrim's (the founder of yankeee culture, such as it is) and our own Virginian cavalier founders both included drunkenness as a subset of gluttony.
Taverns provided our forefathers meeting places during the struggle for independence. Washington was the largest distiller of whiskey in his day.
I've been on wine tasting trips all over the US and drunkenness was rarely seen. Perhaps, in Napa Valley, where the vineyards are cheek by jowl, it might be possible, but not on wine trails described here.

Yet another fantastic idea that would bring much needed tourist dollars to the state of Alabama but the Southern Baptists want it squashed!
I have never understood why religious right like the Southern Baptists, COC, and others who will fight to the very end on somthing like this only to smell it on them come sunday.

The SBC seems to think we are unable to make decisions without their approval. I could care less what they think. Since they have lost 5 million members over the last few years, can you say "backlash"?
Quoting from a sage and seasoned gentleman above:
"I continue to be astounded by the lengths that seemingly rational people go to to justify continued use of mind-altering drugs and expansion of opportunities to consume them. The highest and best expressions of the human spirit are not generated under the influence of such substances. In fact, the predominant effects of imbibition are to decrease the quality of rational discourse, lower inhibitions and in generally encourage irresponsible and immature behavior. "
Thankfully most of us have down time. We are not required to be rational, inhibited, perfectly responsible and mature at all times. What an incredibly pious, boring and self righteous little prig you are. Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Ronald Regan (and Nancy), many hundreds of CEOs, Picasso, Rembrant, Shelly, Keats, Vidal, Mailer, and thousands of others are/were drinkers (not drunks, but drinkers), yet still managed to lead productive and creative lives.
