And so I opened another bottle of wine. Well, this is not exactly true. It is not a bottle. It is a carton, and like most cartons, this contains 1 liter as opposed to most bottles which contain 750 ml. ( three quarters of a liter) and so, even at a price well below the cheapest bottle of wine, I get one third more. Now that is well worth the uncomfortable trip to town. Cheers to all of us who know a good deal when we taste one. and who can still remember the days when getting high on liquor on a Saturday night was a wonderful excuse to have sex. Now we need a lot more just to remember what the excitement was all about. Or to forget that sex was ever part of the equation.
Here is to cheap wine.
