What's a good wine without aging?

Why does anyone listen to Miguel? I'm sure he'll be requesting that future releases of Wine include a brown colour filter so that Windows applications running under Linux can look as shit as his.

Just a "quick question" about pronounciation:
Well, my evil twin pronounces it "Win-E", while i say it's supposed to be pronounced just like "wine". Who is correct?

Granted the logo for the project is a glass of liquid that is most likely alcoholic wine.

It is deducible for the project name and related pronunciation to be similar to the subject of the logo.

Phonetically, "Win-E" would be "similar" to the pronunciation of the inebriating beverage of the orthographically identical name. You meant to write that "It is deducible that the pronunciation of the project's name is a homophone of that which is depicted in its logo".

Or, rather than state in a verbose and pretentious way that the pronunciation is obvious, you might have meant to simply write "the logo has wine in it, so it's probably pronounced 'wine'", which would be far less socially abrasive.

I always say "Wine". The beverage. And everyone I know says "wine".
