New Vintage
Californian vintners in the Napa Valley area, who primarily produce Pinot Blanc, Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio wines, have developed a new hybrid grape that acts as an anti-diuretic. It is expected to reduce the number of trips older people have to make to the bathroom during the night.
The new wine will be marketed as Pinot More...

Oh man, that's a funny one. I will have to share that one with my father. I think he'll get a kick out of it.
