It's the end of the day or
maybe the workweek. You may be having a simple frozen pizza or
Chinese takeout for dinner, or, maybe you have planned to invite a few
friends over for the evening, to relax, discuss the news of the day, all
over glasses of wine. So you trudge over to the wine department of
your favorite supermarket (hey, you were already there picking up frozen

your guests (or yourself) as well. |
