in reply to Name Space

Wine is just an english translation of the dutch word "wijn". My lastname is a pural so I guess it really should be "wines", but then again, that doesn't sounds so cool.

I have had other nicks in the past, but this stuck, and is usually not in use by other people, which is a great advantadge.

oh..., btw, I like wine too ;)

-- nice question, though. Have wondered about these nicks myself so now and then.
