Food / Polish wine produced in the Zielona Góra region [41]
What exactly, is the point of contention? Which particular law does Poland have to add, or subtract, to comply with the EU's?
And, if Polish wines are compliant with Polish law, why can't they be sold in Poland?
And one more, can someone voluntarily comply with EU law and sell the wine abroad?
(I'm having hard time finding these things online)
Thy stopped granting licences due to Polish law not being in compliance with EU law.
the obstacles are Polish and they only cover grape wine

I don't understand why the government has not granted licenses to sell wine since August 2008. Were there any reasons given, or, at least, some speculations?

Love / Dating a Polish/Italian Guy [18]
I assume that was sarcastic, kreme.
The signs that he does not want her to be a part of his life are all there, no family involvement, no friends, he does not even want her to know where he works, for Pete's sake!
I think he's just working her because she presents him with a challenge and a distraction.
Sorry, but that is my take.

This is my feeling about this, and of course, this is just my guess.
I think you are his rebound girl. Eventually, he might even go back to his girlfriend.
Also, sooner you sleep with him, sooner your relationship is going to be over.

We're thinking about helping out some family friends in growing and making red wine . I had no idea there might be problems selling it. But then I should have expected it; my father rarely bothers with those pesky legal issues. :/

Work / Language Teachers - do you feel respected in Poland? [86]
I don't think you opened the door even when the student was upstairs at the door of your flat... did you? Why would he still be sms'ing you?
I got out of the shower, wrapped myself in a towel, and told him that we were scheduled to meet at 12:00 and to wait until I was finished drying off, etc.
A few minutes later, he sent me an SMS which read, "I refuse to wait at your door - I resign our lessons."

[Moved from]: Engraved rolling pins by Polish artist
File this under things I never thought I'd say: these rolling pins are absolutely stunning. Made of Polish beechwood and laser-engraved from artisan Zuzia Kozerska's home in Warsaw, the pins come in nearly a dozen different designs. (Alternatively, especially committed cooks can request theirs custom-made.)

It shows that though Europeans are very widely exposed to English, there's a stark regional divide in how comfortable people are with really using it. In Northern Europe, most people can converse in English whereas in Southern Europe they can't.
