Free Tip@me.com: How to buy a wine for the first time, find u dont hv a cork opener...n ruin it all!


It was meant to be just an outing at the nearby mall..just to find a beautiful girl i saw last week with whim i exchanged glances..thats it! only tht much....she dint come this time..why wud she actually? Well...so thers this new wine store which opened. I never drink beer....save a few breezers, but this shop was really cool and the shop owner just repeated so much so the importance of wine in life( U'd rather die than not buy a bottle from him shop)..that well i had to say..ok lets try.  Soo after much explanation he did about Red wine..port wine..white wine....grape wine..apple wine....imported wint...local wine..desi wine....he started with showing us the imported ones ..the bottles looked good n really good...However, considering the fact that it wass month end with a credit crunch, we(actually it shud be he..my friend paid) settled for this good looking bottle at a cheap rate. See the piccy there(with a floating cork). Finally after much wine suggestions from the old glass wearing Uncleji....we paid n came out.

So, here we are, two glasses perfectly cleaned...one plastic glass n one glass glass( rest were like...off to heavens long back). So..heres the perfect ceremony to make me drink for the first time. Ver carefylly open the bottle..openthe wrapper above it. Made sure we had a bottle opener( the one u have in a nailcutter). So its opened, and viola!! whats this? Thers no nothing////whats this!! ITS a CORK! Cork opener? I imagined it must look like a screw n u move it round n round. So i explain this to my friendo who is already poking the knife into the cork. The cork wont budge ..it wud just tear off a bit from here n there. So well...knife over..what else...probably a pan holders edge? naaah......after much engineering i got a pen tried to poke it hardinto the cork and then...SPLASH....whats that? thats a WINE FOUNTAIN idiota!! ya some got into my mouth as well with pieces of cork!..YUCKS!! was it the wine or the cork which tasted so bad in my mouth!! BAD BAD BAD..

But the cork was inside the bottle to let us pour it into glasses..say CHEERS..with wine all over the clothes....n everywhere else....and it tasted like....dunno what...no comparisions......but a piece of another advice for free...DONT BUY CHEAP INDIAN WINE IN A GOOD LOOKINNG BOTTLE..N YA>>>MAKE SURE U GOT A CORK OPENER!!
