stupid wine situation @ dinner

[Tailgunner]

Dude, just screw the cap back on, ask the waiter for his/her suggestion and make your friend feel like an idiot for being so cheap. It's not like the wine is going to get any worse, but if they don't take it back call for the manager and embarrass your friend further.

I didn't vote because I was looking for a "Kill your friend" option, since the whole thing could have been avoided by ordering a decent vintage.

I don't know about the Ripple this guy ordered but wine goes bad rather quickly.

I've had these douche bag waiters before. Guess they have limited opportunities in their daily lives to feel superior. Once, after a waiter told my date not to get "snooty", I told him not to speak anymore.

That was the point.. if you need to screw off the cap, it's already bad [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

Bad assumption. Screwcaps do just fine for taste, and can help prevent corking.

About 80% of American households do not own a corkscrew (Economist magazine estimate). Winemakers would do well to get more people enjoying their great product if they could shake this silly stigma.
