I once had Prosecco from a mug during a zoom meeting (WFH) with a client who was just unbearable. It got me through the meeting.

Oo I wish I had thought of this back when I used to work from home!

Drink mulled wine wine in a mug. The mug I drink from was one I got in Germany at a Christmas market which was Gluhwein

Why do you care what your sister thinks?

I've been drinking mulled wine out of a mug today. It's only me drinking it so I'm warming it in the mug in the microwave and it seems daft to then decant it to a mug. Cozy!

Why do you feel the need to hide it?

Just so that the kids don’t break my glass (has happened before) and so that my sister who is here doesn’t know.

I’m doing that right now.

It’s a hangover from when my dad was alive. He was completely against drinking, thought it was immoral.

So I’d drink lager or wine out of a mug. He never knew. He used to boast about his tee total daughter (he died when I was 44).

That was my alcoholic friend’s favourite deceit. We miss him.

Absolutely not acceptable. Wine should only be drunk in small amounts at a time in a fine quality wine glass with very thin glass.

It’s Christmas Day, carry your glass with pride.

Cold drinks out of a mug is my ‘nails on a blackboard’. Just the thought of it turns my stomach.
