Does Wine Count as a Fruit?

It's almost Spring--and we know what that means. We'll need fewer clothes and short sleeves and maybe even shorts. Uh Oh! The problem is---there won't be any less of me unless I get back with the program. So, back to more healthful eating---more fruits and veggies, cabbage soup for lunch, no more Alabama Truffles, less wine. Wait just a minute--now why doesn't wine count as a fruit? Wine is just another form of the grape, right?

I remember seeing Lucille Ball stomp those grapes. She stomped all of them--skin and all---in that big barrel---and Voila! The grapes turned to wine. Yes, let's call it a fruit!
