TAKE THAT, WINE SNOBS

摘要

New york university economist Karl Storchmann always has loved wine-so much so that, years ago, before he moved to the U.S. from Germany, he even tried his hand at making his own. From 1994-99, when he was working for the Rhine-Westphalian Institute for Economic Research, he cultivated a small vineyard in his free time. "I pruned and trained the vines, and I made some wine-not a lot, like 350 bottles," Storchmann recalls with a smile. "It was really fun."
