At least they're eating it off the slide, it's less likely that our neighbor's cat peed on that.
Snow=legit
Then, this morning, as a part of our weekly routine, all four of us ladies ventured out in the freezing cold to gather groceries from the store. Our trip always includes a visit to the alcoholic libations isle where I pick out my weekly vino. I was SUPER excited when I saw bottles of Moscato for a mere $5 per bottle, I grabbed 2 and went on with things. Our trips always leave me wanting to drink both bottles by the end, but I always refrain. I did however pick one up after the groceries were unloaded to look at it and drool a little thinking about drinking a glass after the girls are in bed later, and this is what I saw:
That's right, it says "alcohol removed". Who would do such a heinous thing? |
This poser was sitting amidst all the other legit wine acting like it was the real deal-- it even called itself "Moscato" and yes, the frazzled mother trying to keep her 2 unruly toddlers from breaking lose from the bonds of the cart-bench fell for the ruse.
Needless to say I will be heading back to the store later to exchange both bottles for something potent. Lord knows I need it.
Alcohol Removed Wine = One of the worst things I have ever heard of
ReplyDeleteThey should name it whine, because that's what I would do if I bought it by accident.
ReplyDeleteThat alcohol removed wine is the saddest story I've heard all day. I hope you returned it, or cooked with it or something.
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooooooooooo! I'm mad at the people who made this scourge of a drink. And the people who sell it. What is the world coming to? No damn good. I'll tell you that much..;)
ReplyDeleteCurses! The devil did that to you.
ReplyDeleteAlso, this upholds my husband's weird theory: never buy any food with a blue label. Strange but true.
If it is alcohol free and of a 2011 vintage, God only knows what, exactly, is keeping it preserved ...
ReplyDeleteYay ~ first snow fall!
ReplyDeleteBoo ~ faux 'wine' hiding amidst the real deal!
Alcohol content aside, I can see you have excellent taste in wine. I think having 3 kids 3 and under will make anyone a connoisseur pretty quickly. Let me know when you're back from the store, I'll be right over :)
ReplyDeletehahaha...I saw the label and my first thought was "there's no way that's the wine ana's been drinking!" and my heart sank for 2 seconds cause i felt slightly guilty that mine in the cabinet is real...and then the reality smacked me...."this is ana". . . and i realized it was the not legit part of your post! too funny! i hope you found a respectable replacement! =)
ReplyDeleteYou should have put a warning label on that last picture. That is the most horrific thing I've ever seen! What kind of madman comes up with a product like that??
ReplyDeletethat is ludicrous. I just... I can't. maybe try buying legit wine by the case so as to avoid running out of essential libations? it's kind of what I'm doing right now- stockpiling "goodies" for post-pregnancy.
