Why does Louis only seem to only buy/drink red bordeaux?


The answer is pretty boring, not to mention a bit silly, which is why I'm putting this story here instead of telling it every chance I get. I was watching "Hardtalk" on BBC News 24 one night when Donald Sutherland was being interviewed by Tim Sebastian. He mentioned that he nowadays only drank red bordeaux - ands said so in a rather unreadable, obviously significant and deliberately obtuse manner.

Obviously he was asked why he did this strange thing - why he had this strange inexplicable proclivity. He explained that, apparently as many people knew, he was not the calmest of men, that he was known to have a temper. And one time when he was seeing someone about something, (it might have been a doctor) he mentioned that he'd been feeling particularly angry in the evenings.

This man asked if perhaps he'd been drinking, to which he replied that he'd had some red beaujolais. The person he was talking to exclaimed that this was not right, that red beaujolais made one angry, and that he would be better off with red bordeaux, which was nice an calming.

Crap story huh?
