Chateaux - Name - Year
It is a testament to the popularity of this wine that the majority of those who drink it will see it again before the evening is over.
There is a legend which states that those who partake of it become immediately empowered with the ability to ward off evil spirits (and two thin coats of artex) with but the merest breath. The distinctive flavour of this wine is reputed to owe it's origins to the especially cultivated weeping verrucas of the vagrants employed to tread the grapes and it is perhaps unique among wines in that its flavour is said to be enhanced
by the process of regurgitation. Chateaux Name Year is an ideal accompaniment to raw (or even live) meat and is widely reputed to offer an effective (if unexpected) cure for constipation. An ideal wine with which to toast both the departure of hair and the arrival of man breasts.
Hair of the Dog - Breakfast Wine
Using only the finest grapes from the world famous Badgersarse Vineyard this vintage is distinctive both in taste and in utility.
Such is it′s individuality that it is not uncommon to find that at many a social gathering a bottle of this wine will be among the first to be uncorked but will be the last to be completely consumed.
Some table wines come into their own as an accompaniment to red meat, white meat or fish courses. This wine is unique in that it is designed to complement the taste of vinegar crisps and twiglets. Reputed to be the ideal wine for those who enjoy al-fresco people watching. Many who traditionally partake of this wine this enjoy it in the open air whilst observing others as they make their way to work. Some aficionados of this wine resolve to develop this social feature to an extreme degree and choose to fund it′s purchase by sourcing spare change
from these same people.
Such is the exclusivity of this drink that many who enjoy it choose to obscure the label (and indeed the entire bottle) by means of the careful placement of a brown paper bag lest those who are not privy to its secrets or reputation should choose to make the drink fashionable.
An ideal wine to accompany bacon and eggs, fried bread or stuff that you find under a table four hours after the buffet has been consumed.
Welcome to the Property Ladder
Remember how we said that we were thrilled when you told us that you were finally taking the step onto the property ladder.
We Lied.
Welcome to the ball and chain club. Instead of looking the world in the eye willing and able to take just about anything that life throws at you with a shrug and a smile before moving on to the next adventure you will now be tied forever to a tiny pile of needy and greedy bricks. You are now officially owned by your own possessions. You are one of us. Get used to telling people that it’s great to finally put down some roots and that it’s good to have a stake in society but you too will come to know that the stake has been driven through your young and carefree heart.
The grapes that are used to make this wine are treaded by a family of cash rich nomads who sing songs about the stupidity of once rebellious but ultimately conformist wage slaves whilst they stamp.
An ideal wine to drink while staring into the abyss.
Now The Baby is Here
For many months now your body has been a temple. You have unselfishly
denied yourself the things that you crave for the benefit of your newborn. You stood by while
others indulged themselves but not once did you complain........ Well actually you did. "
It's allright for you, you can have a drink" and "No I won't I'm pregnant you see" seemed to trip from
your lips on a regular basis. Worse was to come. You entered the "I don't really miss it"
and the "I probably won't bother drinking again" phase of pious dimwittery that afflicts the
hormone ravaged mind of the expectant mother. Now the reality should have hit home. The baby is here and you can't put
it back where it came from even if you wanted to. After having a baby new mothers are often
grateful for well thought out , sensitively given advice.......... So here's a poem to guide you
"it's time to rejoin the human race
Just pop the cork, get off your face"
Oh and congratulations!
You are a total STAR!!!!
