True classic 1643-era story: one night we had a bajillion people over and our wine supply was getting throttled pretty bad. We sent Leo out to get some wine that was “cheaper than what we had” and told him to “get lots of it”. He interpreted that as a suggestion go out and spend $50 on Hoctaller boxed wine (best used for cleaning cats after being sprayed by sunks).
Anyways, we cracked open that four litre box of wine and realized we were out of glasses, so we poured the thing into the pan which we cooked dinner with. It improved the wine BIG TIME. With that said, at that point in the night I could have been drinking cooking sherry and thought it was remarkable.
I try not to drink boxed wine out of dirty pots anymore. I strive to hold my wine glass “style 1” style (see above) because I’m classy. Note: I’m not that classy… for example, I’m writing this post in my underwear (summer heat, y’all!).
