Ever see the movie "Nomads"
Nomads (1986) - IMDb ?
(As a night worker, it's one of my favs)
In it, Pommier (Pierce Brosnan), a Frenchman, sees something he can't believe. He opens up a bottle of wine, pours himself a huge glass, quaffs it, and then goes back to look at the unbelievable.
Movies show people doing that with whiskey.....but wine?
Now, in my case, if I was in such a situation, it might indeed be wine because that, with the exception of the tequila, is the strongest stuff I have in the house. Dare say if I did that with tequila, I wouldn't be steadying my nerves but retching my tummy out.
Maybe it wasn't wine but sherry. As it is, I do have a bottle or two of that stuff in the refrigerator.........inherited from my Mom's wine cellar two and a half years ago..................no idea how long it had been sitting there.
