The gift of wine
Permalink  
 

I recently moved into a new house, and when we arrived there was a gift basket with a bottle of wine in it. I looked at it and laughed. Two years ago the bottle of wine wouldn't have lasted the night, it would have been consumed, out of my own control ( or that what I would have made myself believe). It was the first time I had alcohol in my home. Luckly now I'm in control of my addiction and, I can handle, not worrying about the wine. 

Plus you can't get a good buzz off one bottle of white wine anyways. I've been down that bottle before.

yep that's what I miss about not drinking.

a glass or two of wine with a nice dinner

BUT , I would have had several beers before dinner

and would've had several more after

yep would've defeated th purpose of a 'nice wine'

When I was drinking, I always felt that the people who worked in the marketing and packaging departments in the wine industry were completely clueless. The bottles were obviously just way too small, and this was clearly just annoying to 'all' of their customers. I felt that if they would have just bothered to ask someone like me, they would have learned this, and so much more.

 

hmm
