Not at all. This is a classic case of 'the medium becoming the message'. I'm surprised that you are not aware of this phenomenon

Can I get the credit for this, as I got the blame for the initial bad news?

Yes, the medium is the message!

When I emerge resplendent in glory from my dry-wagon, I refuse to pay high prices for the best wines known to man!

Nine months to go, baby

I thought you already won the bet?

I have been refusing to pay high prices for the best wines known to man for some time now. In fact even longer than I have been boycotting Jeremy Vine.

Has sobriety called on this forum ? Today a lovely crunchy Loire red Saumur Les Nivieres from Waitrose - good slightly chilled.

Certainly has here - like I lot of people I know we joined in Dry January, and it's somehow more or less continued so a bit out of practice .....
I've got a bottle here about which I know not a lot, (pressie from neighbour because I tended his garden when he was on holiday) Domaine Les Fines Graves, Evelyne Janodet, Moulin a Vent 2011, should be ok with some slow-cooked shoulder of lamb I expect, might as well open it then, it's been sat in the kitchen cupboard for months.

As I don't drink a lot of wine, I sometimes buy those little cheap quarter bottles in supermarkets for adding to sauces.
does this make me a bad person?
sometimes I add them to homeopathic remedies to add a bit of taste too.

Anybody else use these?
