I've only seen it spelled "claret," also. Nor until Charlene's post ever encountered it spelled "clairet." In his letters, England's famous 19th century poet John Keats wrote of how much he enjoyed "claret." However, in the days when I sometimes accompanied my late husband to a wine shop (here in the U.S.), I never saw "claret" offered, but a number of varieties termed "rosé." My own favorite wine is the German white wine termed "Rhine." :) -- Best regards, Mary The Bat 3.5.33 on Windows XP 5.1 2600 Service Pack 2 ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.5.33 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
