I am a Riesling

We are currently in the throes of parliamentary elections. Actual election day is Sunday, but it's possible to vote in advance. I have already voted, utilising the assistance of a few of the online election machines (vaalikone). Yes, really. Various instances - tv stations, political parties, YLE (the national broadcasting corporation, Finland's answer to the Beeb), and probably others - run online questionnaires which, once completed, will tell you whom to vote for. It sounds pretty dreadful I know, and can sometimes give startling results. I was pretty happy with my suggested candidates (no dreadful right-wing fascists, always a bonus).

In the wake of the vaalikone activity, all manner of other organisations are doing similar questionnaires at the moment. I answered thirteen questions (sorry, Finnish speakers only) on wine, to find out which one I am. Pretty happy with this result, too, as it could have been worse - boxed wine was also an option.

PS Not that it matters one iota but of course the questionnaire wasn't *about* wine, I am just talking nonsense. It was all lifestyle stuff, from which the wine whom you are in another dimension where people are wines can be deducted. Will I ever get it right.
