Grape Flavored Wine.

[ralerin]

(In case you've forgotten, I work at an Aid of Rite )

I know that sometimes they add in flavors to wines, like blackberries or strawberries or whatever, but I had a guy come up to me (he had an accent and was yakking alternately on his cellphone) and asked me if there was "grape flavored wine".

(Following conversation has been condensed...it stole 10 minutes of my life).

Me: " Isn't all wine grape flavored?"

Him: "No, no, no, I want wine that's red and has grape flavor." (talks on cellphone for a minute)

Me: "*stares up at the rows of wine* Well, it depends what sort of wine that you want. We have loads of red, plain wine."

Him: "What is a good brand? I want red wine." (talks on cellphone).

Me: "Is there any preference for brand?"

Him: "No. *picks up bottle of wine* How do you open?"

Me: "Oh, this one has the cork in. *mimicks pulling out cork"

Him: "Oh, no, I want one with a normal top." (Talks on cellphone).

Me: "*picks up blue bottle* This one is the only one we have in a screwtop, but it's a riseling, it's white wine." (We also sell flavored gasoline sangria made from lesser quality wine that has a screwtop and citrus flavors in it).

Him: "Is white wine? Oh, no. I think I will go to the liquor store, they have a better choice." *Goes off, talking on cellphone*.

Truth be told, I don't care for wine and when I do, it's usually the flavored cheap stuff. But who wants to buy specific types (an in quality) wine at an Aid of Rite?

Him: "Oh, no, I want one with a normal top."

*cues Peanut* "Hah?"
*thank you, Peanut*
Dude, Cork is the normal top, it's the screw top that's the aberration.
All wine is grape flavored, unless it's cheaply made... then it might be gasoline flavored...

...screw top...

Oh look! Look! The screw top fits your head! What a good buy! Drinkies and a party hat!

Grape-flavored wine? Pish tosh.

You'd like me. I'm low maintenance. Just gimme a six pack of Guinness and I'm a happy Irv.

[jackfaire]

My issue isn't that the guy wanted the cheap stuff my issue is that he is acting like the cheap stuff is the high class stuff and all the rest of us obviously don't know crap about wine.

[Mnemjian]

Wonder what he thinks wine is made out of?

'cept Guinness is more expensive than some wines.

Man, you guys are in rare form tonight. You're killing me over here.

You should have just shown this asshole some Manischewitz or better yet, some Mad Dog 20 20 and just called it a day.

A box is too good for him. He'd probably try to sniff the plastic tap.

[HorrorFrogPrincess]

*shudder* I don't like wine (more for the grain myself), but even cheap whiskey is like YUK.

But I'll try anything with a cork in it! Screw top, I need to dillute it with soda.

Customers?

No, that's what Aussie shampoos are made out of apparaently

Still, I remember one of my classmates joked about "dehydrated water." (we were like 11)

[Calud]

Wine is AWESOME! But I live in Paris, France, so I can get the good stuff easy and cheap. Honestly, you should try some of the wines from here, they taste amazing.

[NightAngel]

I have tried many wines of varying caps, corks and qualities. Truth be known, overall, I think cheaper (not -est) wine tastes better- more flavor. The red I drink has a light, yet distinct, rose flavor that I love.

Unless we're talking Merlot, then pass me the one with the screw top!

NightAngel<-- so not a wine snob.
