Well, there's a reason why I named my website that. The name takes after the tradition of recursive acronyms in the open-source world. If something in your head just clicked, and you now understand why that makes sense, good for you. If not, read on!
It all started with GNU, or GNU's Not Unix. GNU is a recursive acronym, meaning that the acronym can be expanded, and it includes the word that is the acronym. For example, GNU expands to GNU's Not Unix, and the acronym includes the word GNU itself. Other open-source projects following this convention have popped up as well, including WINE Is Not an Emulator, and the JACK Audio Connection Kit.
So that's all and good, but what does it have to do with Vino and ouzo? I'll tell you, Vino Is Not Ouzo is a recursive acronym for my online alias, Vino.
Oh yeah, and in case you were wondering, "ouzo" is a greek liquor. This is in contrast to my alias "Vino", which is Spanish for 'wine.' Don't read into it too much.
