I'm picturing her clomping around in a vat with Lucy and Ethel 'round back because she has to make it herself.

HA! Me too!

I am so confused.

[bleubook]

I need my wine.
NEED

I don't see why it's eye roll worthy. I'm guessing she's just not that into wine. I always find it interesting to see what people spend money on.

The wine I usually drink is $3 a bottle. It is much cheaper than liquor and much more efficient than cheap beer.

That Bubbly brand (the one with the foot?) is actually pretty good and very inexpensive!*

*I'm not a wine drinker so don't judge me on this.

It's all in the phrasing, I think.

Like, "Wine" would have worked.

Since wine is practically a food group in my world, her line of thinking just does not compute :-)

Barefoot?

I drink that Pinot Evil stuff in a box....it's our "house wine" we bought a decanter to class it up for guests.

Haha. I love that you have a "house wine." I need one of those...

[poppyseed]

Sometimes I get fancy and buy the $11 bottle.

My fav is Riunite Lambrsco. Its like $8-$9 for 1.5 liters. Its sweet and sort of has a carbonated taste to it.

This is a very confusing post. But my "wine" line in my budget is as big as my "restaurant" line. And bigger than my individual "clothes" line.

AAAAARGH I JUST SAW THE CHEAP POLL

The idea of not wanting to pay for wine, and even more so, not drinking it anymore makes me :-( :-( :-(
