Sorry for the shitty quality photo - I have a shitty quality mobile phone camera...

I drink a little red wine, keep the old ticker in good shape.

I bought this bottle of French Cabernet Sauvignon today at the supermarket in Naypyidaw (Myanmar). 9,900 MMK ==> 252 Thai baht.



Got it home, peeled off the seal and fcuk... it has a cork.

I have no cork screw. The only practical way to drink the wine is to push the cork into the bottle.

So I look in my room for something suitable to push the cork in with, and settled on the metal end of my umbrella, perfect!

I put the bottle on the floor, clamped between my feet in case it suddenly moves, place the umbrella tip on the top of the cork and PUSH.

Unfortunately, the cork slid rapidly into the bottle with such force that about 20% of the red wine sprayed all around the room, covering white sheets, my clean clothes, laptop etc.

Fcuk, fcuk, fcuk!!! Run around, cleaning everything up, and then have to do the trick of pushing the cork down into the bottle with a fork so that I can pour out the wine into a glass. More wine all over the place.

Finally got my act together. The wine is mediocre at best.....

Corkscrew added to my shopping list, (I'll be damn lucky if I can buy a corkscrew in Naypyidaw).
