You pull out the little spout from the box and fill up your cup.

Only in a PLASTIC cup, too!

I am not a wine guy, but have a great dad joke for you all.

So a waiter brings a wine list. I open it up and pretend to read it. The wine list becomes the whine list.

My feet hurt, my food is cold.....

Enjoy.

I was recently at a charity event in the San Diego area in which they feted us with top shelf wines. Some of the bottles poured for us were over $500.

Now I'm a regular red wine drinker and belong to a couple of wine clubs, where the bottles average under $20 a bottle.

I did not discern enough of a difference between my sub $20 bottles and the $500+ bottles to consider any kind of a switch. Even if I had the means to purchase those more expensive bottles, I would probably choose wines in the price range I'm currently in.

This is an example of the law of diminishing returns. Once you get a quality product at a reasonable price, stop there. There is no benefit in seeking the more expensive products.

Case in point is my 2020 fully loaded Subaru Outback, Touring model. I paid just over $30K for it. Now I could easily afford a $60K or higher car. But why? It would not give me too much more luxury than I have now. I have the leather heated (and cooled) seats. The sunroof. The lane assist and other safety functions that a higher priced car would have. Above my car, I am only paying for the brand name (BMW, Mercedes, Lexus). Nothing those other cars have that I don't have already in my Outback.

Same goes for wine. Now yes, there are some $40-50 wines that I absolutely like to drink from time to time. But those $20 wines serve me just fine on an everyday basis. Above the $50 price point, I'm now just paying for the brand and label.

Make that a SOLO cup.
