Read today in the IHT that Swedish citizens can now import (by carriage or internet) their own wine. This doesn't exactly end the state monopoly, but it's sure a step in the right direction.



Rise up, Rutabagas, and throw off your chains! :)

I'd never heard this before. It is absolutely one of my favorite vegetables. We have it often. Too bad they started waxing them. Dee

Wine Transport Protocol?

Thanks to the European Union's highest court. The swedish praxis of banning private import of wines is a restriction on the free movement of goods, which is unlegal.

Its funny that the sweedish state with its strict rules aginst its citizens consumtion of alcohol is one of the major european ptroducers and wholesalers of ..... alcohol!

But, of course, WTP is a deprecated protocol, having largely been supplanted by a secure alternative using SSG (Secure Sipping Glassware) that is known as SWIM (Secure Wine Interchange Mechanism).

My last mail order came through NTSWIM (Not That Secure Wine Interchange Mechanism) and one bottle was broken, but the sender remailed it to me ;)

But wouldn't they have to be Jan???

Sounds like a buggy implementation of WTP. The IP packets were not reassembled correctly at your end.
