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......

I would be emailing Boris I mean you might as well drink Capri sun

Absolutely send DP out to buy proper wine x 6 🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷

Larger glass or just drink more 😀

Oh my god! I would be livid!!

What’s it called OP??? I could with less alco lol! 🤣🙈😋

@PyongyangKipperbang

You wait until you’ve ran out, before ordering more? That’s just weird.

I agree. when the panic buying started I left the lemmings in the pasta and loo roll aisles and headed straight for the vino collapso. No fucking way was I risking running out of that!

Absolutely! Priorities, my dear! 🍷🍷🍷🍷

The Doctors? It’s lush and still alcoholic. Just less hangover/ drink more. Nice substitute if you ask me!

^I agree. when the panic buying started I left the lemmings in the pasta and loo roll aisles and headed straight for the vino collapso. No fucking way was I risking running out of that!*

Absolutely. We had pasta once or twice, as opposed to wine, which we didn’t have once or twice.

Call the police!!

I am gutted because my vino Verde 10% has disappeared from the local supermarket.
I like it to drink on a hot afternoon and can have more glasses and stay conscious.
However when it is practically medicinal at the end of another shitty day you need the proper stuff.(all 12.5-13 in my wine rack)

I'd sue the fuckers
Ain't nobody got time for that
(The wine people not the house people 😂)

I feel your pain 😫😂

@LinemanForTheCounty currently rocking my 8 week old to sleep and just laughed so loud at your comment that she woke up 😂

That’s an unacceptable substitution And words need to be had with the supermarket. However I do have a way around your current dilemma.

If you drink it quite fast and run round the garden for about 15 mins you’ll get drunk anyway. Just a little life hack I Discovered whEn I needed to get drunk quickly while at university when everyone Else had started drinking before me. You are welcome!!

CFs! On a Friday night as well - you must be devastated

Wow. That's just mean.

This is why I buy my own shopping.

@LinemanForTheCounty I'm going to be laughing at that one for a good while, DP does all the shopping at the moment and using the bag for life in that way is a good idea if he cocks up again - he substituted a tub of ricotta geese for spinach and ricotta pasta the other week 
@Spritztime how was it, did you risk drinking it??

Bastards! Uber eats do wine delivery (or so my friend says )

@kennycat I wish you were my friend

The panic buying reminds me of when it first was a thing and my MIL called me to say I need to go and stockpile the essentials. Off I went, the shelves were bare so I left with sushi and Prosecco

9% FFS I’ve drank stronger ciders. Feeling for you op in your time of need .

I once ordered a super nice NZ SB from the Marlborough region (daaahling) but received the mini bottle version instead if the normal size - gutted does not even come close to how I felt!

Admittedly it was my own fault for not reading the product description properly, but even so....!

@VelociraptorRex fuck me, you shop at posher places than I do. Fortnums?

OMG, I would be LIVID!!!
