Wine bargains

[Ramon]

I popped in to a local Tesco the other day and managed to bag a few wines reduced to clear; Trimbach Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile 2001, from ?26.99 to ?13.49; Demessey Meursault Les Criots 2001 from ?22.99 to 11.49; and three half bottles of Chateau Guiraud 1er Cru Sauternes 2002 from ?9.99 to ?4.99, plus another bottle of red on half price sale at ?5.49. As the half bottles still count as bottles, I got another 5% off them all as well, so happy days.

I thought I'd check to see if there was anything left in the store today when I was in, just managed to bag a half bottle of the Sauternes. Still, a bargain is a bargain. So that's something to add to the cellar for Christmas

Wot wine?

Look, I may be a Yanqui, but I'm not iggornant. I know wine. Wine has names like Gallo, Mogen David, and Paul Mason.

So Roman pops into the petrol station (Tesco being an obvious typo) to get a few bags of wine.

Trimbach Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile, Demessey Meursault Les Criots and Chateau Guiraud 1er Cru Sauternes

Now, I always thought you limeys talked some strange variant of Inglelish like us byghodz USA-ens talk. Now I'm beginning to think mebbe I'm wrong on accounta these "wines" ol' Roamin' is talking about sure sound strange to me. When I put these names into Google translate, it came up with this:

Trimbach Riesling Cuvee Frederic Emile: Cut back Fred & Emily's grape vats.

Demessey Meursault Les Criots: Unkempt fake salty carrots.

Chateau Guiraud 1er Cru Sauternes: Gerald's hat was the first one born on Saturn.

Haha. Funny. Thought you'd put one over on the ol' rokkitsci, eh? Didn't just fall off the turnip truck, y'know...
