It's all about impressing somebody and that's all. If one couldn't show the
label, who would pay the extra price? Ultimately, the only one we're
impressing is ourselves. I wonder if you didn't know which drum was which if
you'd be able to tell the difference? BTW, a good bottle of wine can be under
$15. I hope for that ten bucks you're getting at least a gallon or you're
paying too much, if it's truly rotgut. I like organic red Jello myself, 60
cents a box.
