I never said it applied to alums.
  1. I think it's sad that it technically shouldn't be posted because it's really a cultural and educational experience (I've never been to a vineyard in Europe, but did go to one in the Niagara area in Ontario). In many ways, not allowing it is a form cultural discrimination (e.g. a girl talking about joining the "grown up table" at the age of 16 and being offered a glass of wine while visiting relatives in the "old country" where it's perfectly legal for a 16 year old to drink), but that might be taking it too far. Trips to vineyards and drinking responsibly with family in the old country are very different from boozing at a party.
  2. Maybe someone volunteers at a church and talked about how communion wine is prepared.
  3. You never said it didn't apply to alumnae either.
