can anyone explain the joke about wine?


il vino, si fa anche con l'uve? i just couldn't get this joke.... it's entirely possible i'm just thick, or that this is just an absurdity (a non-joke), but can anyone explain it to me?did the winemaker's kids just never understand that wine comes from grapes? is that all there is?

Basically the father is going to tell his kids the big secret for making wine and then he tells them something obvious (implying that there is no big secret for making wine).

I went to District 9. Don't tell the MNU.

Exactly. Same goes with children, regarding the way to succeed in growing succesfull kids. You just do your best, hoping to succeed.
That's what he did, but with major expectations - that were a burden to them.

In Portugal, the joke means all profitable businesses have something fishy about them... so, a winemaker`s sons could, in theory, and that is the joke, never have heard about making whine from grapes...
