Now this has tipped me over the edge! Absolutely unacceptable

Hi,

So in the process of trying to move. It's taken us 2 years to get to this point and the past couple of weeks have been a nightmare! Lots of stopping and starting. Lots of "we can exchange....no we can't" Just generally a stressful mess.

That, on top of everything else - home schooling a very hormonal DD, DP wfh and getting under each others feet driving each other insane , has lead to a much needed glass or two of wine, most evenings.

Anyway, shopping is delivered and I think my day is looking up, as the driver proudly announces only one substitute! Instead of the usual 20 something It's one sauvignon for another. No problem.

Or so I thought......

Anyone else pronouncing it Bung- ee rather than Bunjee?

Always maintain a wine cellar! Since switching to getting regular cases delivered I’ve got no chance of being caught out by heretic supermarkets.

[essexmum777]

Hold on, OP you haven't actually told us which supermarket?????????????????????????????????

we need to know so we can avoid their online offerings.

no matter how shit a wine is, add half a shot of vodka to the glass and it makes it palatable.

After exhaustive research over the year, you are welcome, I have found that it works on red or white, and that it doesnt actually make it taste better just that after the first glass you no longer give a shit.

As A seasoned lush I can confirm that this works.

This IS our life, Stapleton

If you find that hard to accept, I suggest you leave the thread.

Every home needs a wine rack/drinks cupboard. I never understand these just in time strategies when it comes to life's essentials.

This reminds me of some 50p cartons of strong wine I once bought in France. First glass was awful but by the second glass it was the best purchase ever 😆

@Corrag I want to thank you. It's only because of your terrible suffering that I avoided a similar fate. After reading your tale of woe I only add one instruction on my 85 item Tesco order. The instruction on the wine box under what to do if not available 'please substitute for any wine or I will cry forever' and fair play to them even when no box I've had four bottles instead.

My DH brought home lower alcohol ("light wine), because his up close vision is starting to go. I drank it, but I sulked...

[DamnYankee]

*"light" wine

[Herecomethehotstepper]

I have an even worse story. Last week I put the kids to bed, tidied up, fired up Netflix and got my lovely bottle of chilled Savignon out of the fridge. Began pouring into the glass and the fucking bottle slipped out of my fingers and smashed onto the floor, taking the glass with it for good measure.
I wept.

I am fairly sure that comes under "legal reasons to leave young children at home while you nip to the shop".

I'd have cried too.

I once drank a whole bottle if wine and barely felt any effects. On close examination of the empty bottle it was around 6 per cent ABV!
South African chenin blanc as far as i can remember. Beware!

[MadameMeursault]

YABU for ordering Sauvignon. Horrid dry grassy stuff. You should order a nice white Burgundy instead. For example Meursault!

@bluefoxmug

really? REALLY?
you are upset about getting a nice wine?

It is called joking
