South Carolina Republicans went to the polls in drab, cold weather, with snow in the state's upperregions, where many of the state's more conservative, evangelical Christian voters live.
That is partly because votes in the upper house are allocated on a regional basis, giving regions such as Lombardy where Mr. Berlusconi is strong and Sicily where Mr. Grillo is strong much sway.
It's currently the fourth-largest winery in Israel, with four different labels and vineyards in key regions like the Golan Heights, the Judean Hills and Upper and Lower Galilee.
An alliance between Mr Berlusconi's centre-right People of Liberty and the Northern League would avoid splitting their vote in two key battleground regions in the north and could deny the Democrats an outright majority in the upper house.
