“I can see using it for the intended purpose, but also for some cooking. Hmmm. Lots of experimenting with this.”

Be interesting to see what the shelf life is. Could store it for emergency use if the shelf life would permit that - also would store in small space.

Or, the gub'mint could just tax it. There's a discussion on wine coolers in usenet's RFC, and Congress quintupled the tax on a gallon of wine in 1989, basically killing off the wine cooler market, and spurring the industry to come up with malt-based products like "Zima".

Not that I cared for either wine coolers or Zima-like crap, but it was a way to market cheap wine with lower alcohol levels, rather than turning it into bum wine with higher levels.

Redd Foxx was probably not amused, Big Wine stealing his Champipple idea.

That’s a thought, beats having large bottles of alcohol in first aid kits, possibly.
