A CHEAP RED FOR THE ROAD;;
Permalink  

We actually saw this one today after we had parked for the night. In comes a sedan with two young ones & parked right beside us. She gets the table & chairs out while he has a sit in the car for a while, then surface with a few yarns & stretches, I keep asking why do these good looking girls carry these blokes around? Oooops i'm off topic.

Out comes two large plastic wine gobletts, ice, yes ice from the esky. A bottle of lemonade & -------------------------------------------------------------wait for it--------------------------.

A bottle of RED make up cordial.

So there you have it ;; a very cheap RED.

Cheers;

JC.

I bought a nice red at Aldis last year for $1.64... It was a palatable drop for a cheapie. Must have been popular, it's $2.64 now !!yawnyawn

It's too late in life to drink cheap red wine!!

Much better to drink small amounts of good stuff.

As they say,
When you are well into the second bottle, and feeling a little tippsie, the el cheapo tastes as good as the $30 bottles. Ias and aside I do not buy the top shelf wines. So I not to sure re the head ache the next morning,

I too used to have a bottle every night for as many years as I can remember.

The head ache that I got was from my Doctor.

Went on the dry for more than 6 months & now only have an occasional tipple.  Like last night I had a nice white (the whole bottle) during the State of Origin RL football.

I feel much better for it as does my wallet & my waist line & BMI are back within limits.

If you go into a pub or club in Northern WA (Headland north), most keep their house wines (that's ordering a glass full from a bottle) in the beer chiller, otherwise the red will do off within a day or so. Weird to start with, but hey, once you live up there, the weird is normal (like all the partner swapping and if you get invited to a cyclone party (the locals have one when an alert is put out) - you need to be VERY broadminded to go to one and expect to be asked to play (no, not table tennis). Guess that's what happens when theres nothing else to do - no movies, no symphony orchestras - just booze and the other!!
