Proof


Conversation between me and the 17yo last night:

Wow, that 7 Deadly Zins has quite a kick to it! I swear it's got to be 15% alcohol! I pick up the bottle to read the label. Look at this! 14.5%!

That's 29 proof.

How do you know about proof?

You explained it to me.

Oh.

And all I have to say about that is, I love cooking with wine! Sometimes I even put it in the food.

    Man, that's one of my favorite wines! If I'm not careful, the whole damn bottle disappears in one evening.

    Yum.

    I love it, too. I thought I drank approximately half on Monday, only to discover last night there was only one very full glass remaining. I neglected to adjust for the bump in on the bottom and, well, how tasty it is!

    So... would either of you care to buy a truckload of that wine? I may be able to arrange a cut rate if you have cash and are in a hurry.

    Such a deal would likely involve all seven deadlies!
