A few years back I took my ex-wife on a whistle-stop tour of the UK via
the CAMRA (Campaign for Real Ale) accommodation guide. One of the pubs
we stayed at in Dundee had an entire wall covered in malts - I have
never seen so many in all my (not inconsiderable) years. The landlord
closed the bar on a cold and wet Wednesday night down near the Dundee
docks, locked the door and asked "would ye care for a wee dram"?
Three days later........

You mean you admit to buying McGuigans *before*? Bottle wine at the
$10.00 price point hardly merits a tasting excursion - Chateau Cardboard
is not only much better value, it's often better wine too. Besides being
easier to transport on a motorcycle.

Try some of the Brown Bros if you want sweet, delicious, and very little
alcohol.

Ahh grasshopper. If I pay $5 for a bottle of wine that retails for $20, is
it a $5 bottle or a $20 bottle that I bought?

Certainly. I wouldn't pretend to be drinking a $50 bottle of wine, even if
the cost is virtual.

Yes, but I only paid for the half-hour, so my time is up.

I did get an invite to Gina Rhinehart's party, but unfortunately I was away
that weekend.
(Gina is Lang Hancock's daughter and worth a very large pile of money. We
managed to save the house on a property of hers in the shire, and she
invited the brigade to a cocktail party she was having).

I don't know about wine but I just bought a carpet from a carpet-warehouse
where the buyer had gone crazy and accidentally overstocked and they were
having to discount the genuine handmade Persian rugs by up to 80%!
Sheesh; what incredible luck eh?

Yes, but JL seems to think a $5 bottle is rubbish. He says (probably
correctly) that my wine retails for $20-$25.
I hold that if I paid $5 it's a $5 bottle of wine.

To you, yes. To the retailer it's a 75-80% off sale ..
But yes if you pay $5 for a bottle of wine, it's a $5 bottle of wine.
Maybe JL should've added 'retail price' for all us pedants out there.
