Please Nathan, do not mention the wine, else the funny guy overseas will 
stat twitting again ?

I am also always surprised by the helpings, be in the Alacian part of the 
family, at friends, or at restaurants. But it?s true I?m so skinny ?

As part of your Alsacian culture, and to impress the boss. 
Prosit/Cheers/Saude, Campai, etc. is said: Es gilt! (it counts/matters) 
looking at the other party dwellers right in the eyes in turn, and clinging 
each of their glasses against yours. I would not do it with champagne at 
large family parties when I met Alice. I feared the bubbles would have been 
shaken away ;-) My father in law resented it. to please him, I now drink my 
champagne ? still :-(

Remember, no mention of the wine!

Amities

No twit Philippe
