Ok. Seriously. How great is this?

unconsumption:

It’s wine o’clock (somewhere) …

Today’s wine-related repurposing find comes to us from Unconsumption reader Tyler Moriguchi of Seattle, who says: “My wife was using a cork to prop up her phone on the table and I was inspired to break out the x-acto and make a little stand.”

Clever! [Thx, Tyler!]

Reminder: The Unconsumption “wine o’clock” series — a semi-regular series of Friday afternoon posts — can be found here.

“These are fresh, casual wines that are ideal for warm weather. We like them lightly chilled to about 55 degrees.”

- -Franck Duboeuf of Les Vins Georges Duboeuf (so yes, THAT Duboeuf) on how the French enjoy Beaujolais.

This is mainly for my friends who think I’m crazy for popping bottles of Beaujolais in the fridge. (We’re talking Beaujolais, here, not Beaujolais Nouveau - there’s a difference.)

Anyway, try it.

I would use the hell out of this.

Via My Life Behind Bars, Exploits of a Professional Hot-Ass Bartender in LA

Last Tuesday, a 47 year-old lady walks into a bar...

47 Year-Old Lady: Can I get a Buttery Nipple shot?
Me: Nope. Sorry.
47 Year-Old Lady: Really? Why?
Me: Cause it's not Spring Break 1996.
47 Year-Old Lady: You know what? You're right.
Me: I know.
47 Year-Old Lady: I guess I should start "drinking my age."
Me: That's entirely up to you.
47 Year-Old Lady: Do you guys have any of that Yellowtail Shiraz? I love that shit.
Me (In my head): Of course you do. Also, nice Hello Kitty wallet you crazy bitch.
Me (Not in my head): No, but Albertson's probably has it on special.
47 Year-Old Lady: Cool. Thanks.

...and with that, she left a $5 tip and was on her way to Albertson's, I presume. Or, Spring Break 1996.
