A
new study of 2,000 wine drinkers showed that the average person will
only start to fully appreciate a good bottle of wine toward the tail
end of their 20s, but how they get into it, and what they prefer,
varies greatly. The most common way we get into wine is from a
friend, with 30 percent reporting that’s how they originally tried
it.

Police in Maryland say a man who was being detained told officers he worked at Krispy Kreme and would give them doughnuts if they would let him go. 25-year-old Matthew Tyler Rosenberg and another man were spotted Thursday by an officer who suspected they were peering into vehicles for anything worth stealing. Authorities say a search of Rosenberg yielded an air pistol and marijuana. It was then that Rosenberg began offering officers doughnuts. Rosenberg faces charges including resisting arrest.

An
Ohio man who called in a bomb threat to Cincinnati / Northern
Kentucky International Airport so he would avoid missing his flight
was sentenced Thursday to four months in prison and ordered to pay a
fine. Dana Carter of Dayton made a series of calls to the airport
claiming there was a bomb on a Dallas, Texas-bound United Airlines
flight in October. The 40-year-old allegedly made the false reports
because he was worried he was going to miss his flight. The original
flight ended up being canceled because of the threat and Carter was
placed on another flight for Dallas less than two hours later. In
addition to jail-time, Carter has been ordered to pay $7,700 in
restitution to United Airlines for the canceled
flight.(https://goo.gl/Ysig6h)
