Lol imagine if you've spent $13k on a bottle of wine by accident and your worst nightmare is that people on twitter are mad at you. Eat the rich.

    I have worked in the wine industry in the past, in both sales and production. Wine making is blue collar as fuck. It is hilarious what snobs will make out of a bottle of wine. Meanwhile the dude who made it wears a straw hat and carhart overalls. Lots of shit is held together with duct tape or baling wire, or some combination of the two, and a prayer to whatever god or gods you think will help it last one more season before needing to be replaced.

      I mean if you were with people actually praying to the gods while making wine then that sounds kinda cool. any cool bacchus/dionysus festival stories?

        Unfortunately no, but we did sit around drinking wine after the harvest relaxing in the cooling late summer air, which was a fine way to cap off a long day's work that started before dawn.
