Here in Europe the limit for methanol in wine, is 0.25%.
Many farmers prepare wine, for their own use, with methanol above the limit allowed.
I know some of them who drink sometimes more than a liter of wine a day (fortunately not all and not always), and in this case they can take much more
than 2.5ml of methanol per day (sometimes, not always).
None of them, until now, has had problems with his sight.
The danger exists, it is true, but I think it is overestimated.
By much.
It does not justify an indication so severe. |
