Subject: RE: BS: Where have all the wines gone?
Back in the days when we used to run raffles in pubs to raise funds for the rugby club, the last raffle of the day used be be for a $50 note wrapped around a bottle of wine.

The bottle of wine was asti spumante (and cheap asti at that), and the only way to drink that stuff was to chill it so cold that you couldn't taste it. The usual advice was to pour the grog on the ground and hit yourself on the head with the bottle.

... but ther were people who liked it ...
