I liked your method of teaching through of this storyand I also liked the storywhich shows us we must care of our thought and manage it and work on it.
A very good story, with a great ending – so that each reader could draw their own conclusion. Should be advanced not intermediate. I think Mr. Poe would be very proud of this writer.
I love wine , although the story had many strange words for my poor vocabulary, I could understand that the flavors of wines carries always
came laden stories that not always as good as the taste of the wine.
Very interesting story. I also think that there were some difficult words, but thanks to God there are dictionaries
Can we get more stories, please?
Thank you
it’s really an interesting and amusing story.I’ll cover it in class tomorrow. I agree with the vocab issue.I think it’s a bit difficult for the students who don’t have the sufficient language skills.The exercises are very useful,though. thanks.
Well, it’s a good story, very interesting. But for people who are in Level Upper Intermediate the vocabulary is so difficult . Sorry for us, maybe our English classes aren’t good.
I think this is one of the most vital information for me. And i’m satisfied studying your article. But should remark on some general things, The website taste is ideal, the articles is in point of fact great : D. Just right job, cheers
this is my first time to join the discuss on internet.i am also an english learner,a learn by my self.i am very glad to find all the learners here to know i am not helpless.this story feels a little frightening.if i was there, i think, i may have spit out the meal i just ate.
as i muse on this story, i thought that if you are to migrate to france, be sure not to show sordid attitude towards the french it you don’t want to be the most palatable wine served at dinner time.
nice web you have , for reading any suggestions 4 u. it is good to give the text reading with audio by the text read by a native speaker, we live in non english speaking country you text reading will really be helpful,especially for my student at the classroom. thank
Reading it reminded me of Edgar Allan Poe. I very much think that De Gruse made the story up to see the reaction of his guests; immigration? living bad away from the native place, not strong enough to overlook the comments coming from the others, feeling inferior. The husband was in his country, why didn’t he try going back to Madagascar if he loved his wife so much? He was rich enough to leave everything to someone trustworthy.A glass of red wine a day is of vital importance.
Actually it is avery interesting story but a confusing one at the same time.what confuse me is the underlying meaning of it.May be it is the destroying effect of wine on happy marriage.How happy were this couple before wine appear in their life. At the end of the story there is amention that ” Fainry” is drunk.So that is what wine did to her happy marriage ,it turns her from “an angel to termagant”,actually
aperson blinded with suspect and jealousy.Finally wine kills her as she stumbled towards the winepress.
A wonderful story!The story is about wine.”She screamed, struggling to free herself”I am thinking what did she think about at that time? About immigation, love, family, indifference of her husband, or the tragic of her jealous?
The story is intresting, I like it. I agree with the others that the writer was attaking the wine and wanted to give us a lesson about jeluosy. finally, the story is easy to understand.
I think it is a good story that I ever heard before. It shows terrible things about drinking and gives you a lesson of life. Wine is so bad,smoking is very bad.
it an exellent reading. it help me to techa my students.
Congratulations.
Go ahead.
In my opinion,the story is great where both the elements of suprise and intereste have been made highly.While the main theme is immigration issue , the sub theme was the wine.I agree that the auther was attaking the wine , though he speaks about it as something wonderful in France.I wanna say he wants manily to show that immigration made the lady jelouse and change her temper.
Love, jelous, drinking wine, kill are the result of immigration
The bottom line is the red color of the wine where all enjoyed was compared to the blood. Who knows maybe blood is making aroma to the wine since its the causive reason for it !!!
Emad, i don’t think you know alcohol very well. As alcohol doesn’t make you some homicidal maniac. But yes it lowers your will and understanding, still the text doesn’t say anything about the guy being drunk in the story. Well overall very good story.
Thank you for the story.
It’s a well-written story and useful for people who want to improve their writing.
You’d better to read the story two times or more.
hi my dears readers this story was very interesting the wine can’t make us happy many people when the faced with the problem instead of that to find the slotion way for that problem they are drinking the wine
and they are don’t care about their careers .
when some drinking on that time he don’t know on thing what every he want he can did easily that and their behavior will be separate form others
This is a short, biography with comprehension and vocabulary quizzes very helpful to incoming 9th grade readers. Fry’s Readability leveled at 5 sentences, perr 100 words and 145 syllables (proper names counted as one syllable only) = 9th Grade. I disagree that this is an ESL intermediate reading, though. I would consider it advanced reading-wise, however the quizzes are at 8th grade levels.
Interesting story. It does explain a lot for me. Sometimes about life, about marriage, specially importance of selecting a better one(but not here in this story by Pierre) & the facts have to be faced if not,etc. And also feelings like jealous, angry,etc would not ever give us happiness eventually. It only makes people weak in both physically & intellectually. By the way a religion should advise us not only to avoid alcoholic drinks but also to protect the right to lives of others(to the fullest meaning of the letter, of all the living things on this whole planet).
It is a good read for English learners like us & I enjoyed it as a story, but never wanna see or hear something like that happens in this beautiful world.
I think it is a good story that I ever heard before. It shows terrible things about drinking and gives you a lesson of life. Wine is so bad, if somebody is drunk, cannot make decision, and cannot control him/her self. Although it gives you a temporary enjoyment but it regrets you for long time. If you are drunk, you may kill someone or violate one or may do else horrible deed. “This story shows you a sample, Pierre was a winegrower who likes her wife. After a while, they moved in France due to the death of his parents in a car crash and to mange their vineyard. After that, his wife, Faniry, became so jealous and they had some argument. Therefore, that one day when they were so drunk Faniry entered the winery; she wanted to have a baby after that accusations and insults but Pierre did not see eye to eye with her. Thus, they fight and suddenly the screw of the press caught at her hair and dragged her in. her husband didn’t do any effort to save her how terrible. When he made sure she died, switched the current off. Faniry’s blood had mixed to the wine and smells so good”; ‘Charles Jousselin de Gruse wanted to show disadvantages of drinking by telling this story to their guests’. That is why my religion forbade alcoholic drinks.
The winepress story is funny and useful at the same time.
Funny because it makes you laugh at thier drinking of Vinery
useful because it gives lessons regarding jelousy.
My Adult ESL group really enjoyed this story – the subtlety and ambiguity of it as well as the mix of familiar and challenging vocabulary. Thank you to whoever put this exercise together.
i liked how the story was written and the different type of speech it used.
I love the story a lot. It was easy to aswered the questions after I read it. The vocabulary was a bonus as well.
superb story. liked a lot:)
I liked your method of teaching through of this storyand I also liked the storywhich shows us we must care of our thought and manage it and work on it.
nice story , but i don’t like the idea that he killed his wife. She does not deserve this end
A very good story, with a great ending – so that each reader could draw their own conclusion. Should be advanced not intermediate. I think Mr. Poe would be very proud of this writer.
I love wine , although the story had many strange words for my poor vocabulary, I could understand that the flavors of wines carries always

It’s very good story, helped me learn a lots of new words. Thanks.
I enjoyed reading the short story but I want to know the moral lesson about the short story.
Perfect work.
actually I find it kinda gross and scary
this story is scarey
i feel a pity for the wife but i think it was the reaction of what she did
Edgar Allen Poe re-incarnated. Great!!!
very beautiful story i am very happy in reading
Very interesting story. I also think that there were some difficult words, but thanks to God there are dictionaries
Can we get more stories, please?

I think it is a good story that I ever heard before. It shows terrible things about drinking and gives you a lesson of life. Wine is so bad, if somebody is drunk, cannot make decision, and cannot control him/her self. Although it gives you a temporary enjoyment but it regrets you for long time. If you are drunk, you may kill someone or violate one or may do else horrible deed. “This story shows you a sample, Pierre was a winegrower who likes her wife.

That is why my religion forbade alcoholic drinks.
In my opinion this story is so cruel. It is alike “The october game” by Ray Bradbury. I don’t like it,too.
it likes Alan pos stories
i Though The Story Was A Load Of SHIT! To Be HOnest!
I wanna take a sip of 65 red wine if possible.
I really enjoyed the story but I didn’t understand in the end the answer of de Gruse,were they drinking the wine with Faniry’s blood,yes or no?????
i love this story from begining to end..its also a lesson.
I really enjoyed the story.it have alot of voc.,but i was expecting it’s end it was not surprising for me.
GOOD LUCK FOR THE WRITTER
IT was good story and it have alot of meaning realy i liked it
I love this story, one of my favourite story I’ ve read. I love the manner the author described scenery in Paris, Madagascar and more

Thanks u so much teacher….i Done already…The Wine story very interesting…:-)
I will think about it when I drink wine!How terrible I fell!!
The winepress story is funny and useful at the same time.
Funny because it makes you laugh at thier drinking of Vinery
useful because it gives lessons regarding jelousy.
It’s very funny to learn english with this “lovely” story and I hope that I will think to it when I will drink a wine.
(Thank you Marcia!).
