Yeah, Reason's report on American v. French wine, and the lack of stifling regulations that have allowed American wines to flourish while the French founder, is OK, but I was far more amused by this old ad for that all-time classic, Thunderbird:
He even takes it out of the paper bag first. Class.
You need the paper bag. It gives you plausible deniability for public drinking.
Nappy recalls the old jingle:
What's the word?
Thunderbird!
What's the price?
Forty twice.
Yep. 80ยข for a small bottle (half a fifth -- back before booze went metric). Later "Thirty thrice" then "Fifty twice." That's inflation for you.
Having been falsely called a racist here too many times, Nappy will refrain from repeating the third Q&A some people added. (It's a silly thing to call someone who, back in the day, worked for civil rights and took part in the Selma-Montgomery march.)
