Gold flakes in wine. It seems an odd idea to pollute a perfectly good wine with lumps of stuff which add nothing to taste or effect. Apart from that, how do they make gold float? It sinks. It's heavier than steel and rocks. I guess those are flakes of gold-coloured paint to swindle the gullible rubes who think it fancy to add another $20 of gold flakes to the glass of wine for snob value. I suspect that in China, the paint would also contain cadmium, lead or mercury. I'd check for ethylene glycol being used as a sweetener. Mqurice
