Earlier today, John called me and said,
Hey, there’s a wine chiller here we sell during Christmas that usually goes for $110.00. It’s been marked down to $10.00. Do you want it?
I immediately pictured a bottle of wine cooler. Who, in their right mind would pay $110.00 for a wine cooler?
Then my next immediate reaction was, I don’t care how good a deal it is and how good it tastes, I don’t want to pay $10.00 for a wine cooler either.
I said, “A wine cooler?
And he said, “Yeah, it holds eight bottles, I think.”
Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner! I’m slow, dumb and stupid from time to time, but the whole problem is exacerbated by men who don’t explain themselves well…
Well…that’s my story, anyway. 😉

Hey, cut the man some slack. He said “chiller” not “cooler”. Who says it is men that don’t listen?

I’m with Mr. Corvette, you said he said “wine chiller” which is NOT a wine cooler. I believe John is correct in this instance. Sorry.
Good deal though. 🙂

OK, I WOULD agree with you, HOWEVER, (and you just knew there was going to be one), I googled “wine cooler” and it was almost entirely wine fridges.
PLUS, I have stated before, my sanity is a slippery, wily, thing and hard to hold on to. Could be I was having a small lapse when he was saying the words, “wine chiller”.
I’m betting that was it! 😉

I drink red wine, from the 4 litre box. Never needs chilling.
And it’s embarrassing having all those wine bottles in your recycling. Maybe I’ll keep them and start making my own.
