I don’t drink so it’d be safe around me.

Never had a taste for the sauce.

Double cheeseburgers is another thing.

A glass of wine that goes good with a double cheeseburger is nice, And good for the blood. I would suggest a nice sour burgundy room temperature. :)

No, I respect that you refrain, it is a virtue. :) But wine really does taste good with certain foods. Ever have Beef Bourguignon? Killer stuff, wine flavors it and the alcohol cooks out. :)

Because nothing says “out of this world” like 1 year old Bordeaux...must be fans of some pretty strong tannins.

The commercialization of space utilizing the ISS. Been occurring for decades. Simply more reporting and the real treats are the manufacturing processes for various lucrative enterprises

Some wine in a box

For the cost of 1 bottle of frog grape drink they could have sent up 1 of each flavor of Château Cârdboard.

Time to cut their budget. They don’t have enough common sense to not let this kind of stuff slip out.

The obvious answer is that it will have no effect on the wine’s aging.

Have at, One of My Aunt’s came up with that decades ago. She sent Me to Her Basement to get one. I get down there and turn on the light and against the wall is a STACK BIGGER THAN A CORD OF WOOD!!! All in Alphabetical order by flavor from left to right. I grab one and go back upstairs laughing and ask Her if She has enough in stock?

She says yeah, there was a sale at the PX.

I ran a Liquor Store years ago and we kept about 1/10th of what She had in Stock.

Depending on what side of the river it is from, red Bordeaux is either mostly or partly Cab. ;)
