I have yet to dip my toes into the Med...  so there is a chance that might become a favored choice should I ever get around to doing that.

Definitely recommended! And after the dip, you can stop by the local vineyard and get some good wine to remind you of the clear blue waters...

The first person, on their death bed, will say "If I hadn't drunk so much, hadn't abused myself so much with tobacco and alcohol and late nights and loose women then I might have had another 5 years longer"

The 2nd person will just think back to all the good times they had in their life, all the drinking, singing, excess and laugh their ass off.

I'm in the 2nd camp.

Vote yes to wine.

And then he was asked whether is it possible to replace red wine with red grape juice. And he replied: "NO! Red wine only!"

More is better.  Especially if it is booze.

I seem to remember you drinking English beer in Tokyo, so in your case that is definately true.

Did you have fish and chips too?

Other culinary delights from blighty

Chips and curry sauce
Sweet and sour pork with chips
Pork pies

None of which would be high on a list of things I miss!

There was a great one in Roppongi, but the name escapes me.
Cheers,

I wonder if drinking good red wine helps you live longer than bad?
There's a test to conduct - I want to be in the "good" group.
