The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for September 16, 2023

Thunderbird!

Could I interest you in a local light white non alcohol wine for only $7 a bottle? Aquafina it is Sir! Excellent choice.

“You might like a wonderful box of red wine.”

I’ll just have a beer, nobody to impress

Drinking during office hours? Better not let the boss find out. You might find yourself with a pay cut that won’t even let you buy wines that need to be unscrewed.

Are the still making Boone’s Farm?

It is an amusing little vinaigrette!

makes one wonder why that would be a problem… :p

Bring me a bottle of your finest Ripple.

Annie Green Springs?

Wine whine wine.

I’m with you Brutus. I’d like a fine dining experience, only problem is I have a grilled cheese budget.

Back when I was younger, the cheap wine was Golden Nut at $2.00 per bottle. Gut rot, the cheapest drunk ever. I used to watch friends get drunk and laugh my tush off at their sorry state. Guess who always drove home? lol

When we eat out, I splurge on my favorite wine, “House”.

There’s always a catch Brutus .

The waiter got the quizzical Brutus look….

My local Kroger sells Bay Bridge for $3/bottle. Great price and not bad taste.

I know that vintage: it’s called Heinz Red Wine Vinegar.

“Ask and ye shall receive” and “You get what you pay for” are two sayings that came to my mind. There was a book l read about 50 years ago entitled,“Champagne Living On A Beer Budget”. It had some ideas that Brutus might be able to use….. Good luck. However, just order a great beer that would pair well with his meal. That’s what I would do. l’m a beer kind of guy……

it’s called grape juice

Give me double shot of water and hold the ice.

Maybe they can get some of that 5L stuff from Aunty Acid.

“Compares favorably”? As in they’re both red and liquid? Brutus next time sneak in your own Three Buck Chuck in a flask. Obviously Brutus isn’t on an expense account!

Would sir look some whine instead.

A dry, listless wine with a hint of food coloring and the bouquet of frozen grape juice. (Available in gallon containers)

“Oh, my favorite juice is Mother Goose’s

Sweet Potato Sparkling Wine

Let’s get’s juiced on Mother Goose’s

Mother Goose’s Sparkling Wine"

Grain alcohol and Kool-aid.

Instead of changing wines, I think Brutus should change restaurants. If he can’t afford the wine, the meal is going to be a carrot to fit his budget.

“Yes”, replies the waiter, “we have the house wine, been in the house quite a while, just add it to your salad”…

I don’t drink, so that’s not a problem for me. However, I’ve never eaten out where they had a diet 7up! I’d even take a diet Sprite, but all they ever have is Coke. If we’re not going to a fancy restaurant—which is very rare—I usually take a 7up with me, and they usually let me drink it.

Haughty expectations

“Maybe I’ll just order the grape juice.”

Check please!

tastless wine

That’s where restaurants make a lot of their profit – on the drinks. For a small glass of wine (so 1/6 a bottle) you are paying the price for the actual bottle.
