Like by potatoes or something, instead I ended up with a mostly destroyed cork with bits floating in the wine. I let my husband have full run on that bottle. <br /><br />You would think people living in California, gifting wine would have better sense. *sigh* Wine in Japan sounds like it would not be so fun.thegypsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01019720222734603445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8528686231765021097.post-851065325181181912012-12-15T19:55:01.013+09:002012-12-15T19:55:01.013+09:00In Ontario, Canada, drink is only available from a...In Ontario, Canada, drink is only available from a public bureaucracy: LCBO. As bad as that sounds, they have a decent standard of storage, and carry items in smaller centres a private company wouldn't. We pay more than in the States, but then again, we pay less than in Japan.<br /><br />And with all due respect to my American friends and readers, I am happy to pay the price for civilization (taxes), and I do not consider America's domestic and foreign policy a civilization I want anything to do with.Ἀντισθένηςhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06199983680204710885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8528686231765021097.post-20231699422562777902012-12-15T16:30:58.692+09:002012-12-15T16:30:58.692+09:00I lived above a cafe (in Aus) and the owner stored...I lived above a cafe (in Aus) and the owner stored wine in our dining room, upright in boxes. The room got so hot in summer you couldn't even use it so I told him that it would ruin the wine. He did nothing and still tried to sell it. At least in Japan you could get away with it, here not much. People know more about wine.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08699328937978331608noreply@blogger.com
