Good vs. Cheap and Plenty

We shall not, said Erik when I met him at the airport for his brief visit with me, we shall not drink cheap wine. I shall buy some good wine, he said.
Well now, thought I. Who am I to argue.
So we bought a couple of bottles of good wine, and that night catching up on all and sundry, we finished them.
Somehow we never replenished the good wine but settled for the "in-house special" of cheap wine in cartons.
Of which I had plenty.
But not anymore.
Time to stock up again.

You have to decide:
Do you want an experience, or just the work og it? Some years ago I asked my wife to a fancy restaurent in CPH. Well seated she asked the waiter the way to the ladysroom, he asked the same question, and she went for the experience - that she'll never forget. The room she entered was not just a toilet. It was a round romm decorated with little Italian mosaik, and in the middle of the romm a big fountaine to wash up the hands after - the visit. SO - either you go for the excelent, or for the plenty. The excelent is shortlyin a high qality, and the plenty does the work in a cheeper qality. What you want is what you get. My sugession is - first the qality, and then the plenty. The plenty you never remembers, only the qality, so that the main target.
