Drinking during office hours? Better not let the boss find out. You might find yourself with a pay cut that won’t even let you buy wines that need to be unscrewed.
Back when I was younger, the cheap wine was Golden Nut at $2.00 per bottle. Gut rot, the cheapest drunk ever. I used to watch friends get drunk and laugh my tush off at their sorry state. Guess who always drove home? lol
“Ask and ye shall receive” and “You get what you pay for” are two sayings that came to my mind. There was a book l read about 50 years ago entitled,“Champagne Living On A Beer Budget”. It had some ideas that Brutus might be able to use….. Good luck. However, just order a great beer that would pair well with his meal. That’s what I would do. l’m a beer kind of guy……
“Compares favorably”? As in they’re both red and liquid? Brutus next time sneak in your own Three Buck Chuck in a flask. Obviously Brutus isn’t on an expense account!
I don’t drink, so that’s not a problem for me. However, I’ve never eaten out where they had a diet 7up! I’d even take a diet Sprite, but all they ever have is Coke. If we’re not going to a fancy restaurant—which is very rare—I usually take a 7up with me, and they usually let me drink it.
That’s where restaurants make a lot of their profit – on the drinks. For a small glass of wine (so 1/6 a bottle) you are paying the price for the actual bottle.

Could I interest you in a local light white non alcohol wine for only $7 a bottle? Aquafina it is Sir! Excellent choice.

When we eat out, I splurge on my favorite wine, “House”.

My local Kroger sells Bay Bridge for $3/bottle. Great price and not bad taste.

A dry, listless wine with a hint of food coloring and the bouquet of frozen grape juice. (Available in gallon containers)

Instead of changing wines, I think Brutus should change restaurants. If he can’t afford the wine, the meal is going to be a carrot to fit his budget.

“Yes”, replies the waiter, “we have the house wine, been in the house quite a while, just add it to your salad”…
