Wine prank

Yeah, that's pretty bad. Its hard to find really really bad wines.

As such the really bad ones cost more than you think.

Check for Chateau Margaux 1990 at your local wine store. 1995 will do if that is not there.

This will make your future father in law sicker when you tell him how much it cost also.

Salut/Hi Blake Norton,

Wild Irish Rose.

That said, I think it's a dreadful idea.

Assuming this is not a troll, it's actually quite hard to find truly flawed wines these days. There a lot of wines I don't like, but most people wouldn't find them "the worst wine in the world" - hell, most of them are big sellers. So assuming you're father-in-law to-be isn't a real winegeek, here would be my ideas: Get a decent bottle of red wine, drink. Refill with traditional kosher wine such as Manishevitz. Find the foxiest Lambrusca wine out there. Assuming you're in North America, you might have to try a local winery. Be gentle to the grower, don't tell him you're searching for worse wine. Some people like foxy, others don't. Find a really young tannic Madiran. Serve with fish. There's always the cheap fortified- MD 20/20, Ripple and the like.

Worst wines in the world? Like the others have said, if it's on the shelves, it's likely to be drinkable. Perhaps you could talk to some wine store to sell you an over-the-hill oxidised California chardonnay? Failing that, look for bottles of red wine that have low fill and look brown when held up to the light.

Yeah, MD 20/20 should do it. Don't forget to put it in a decanter.

Thanks for the ideas! A friend told me about this Polish wine that is truly awful and is made from raisins. But like the other poster said, it's expensive. I think I might do the MD 20/20 in a really nice bottle.

I just h>Blake Nort>: Hello,

Dont do it. Its not funny. Your future father inlaw will not be impressed..

First the disclaimer that I wouldn't do this, and I recommend that you don't either. In fact, stop right now and don't read the next paragraph.

That said, why look for a "bad" wine when you can make a wretched one yourself? Open the bottle, pour the glasses, then slip a little something extra into each one, like flat Coca-Cola. Or, if you're even more mean spirited, motor oil.

Unless you *know* that he enjoys when people pull pranks on him, don't even think about it. Otherwise, buy any bottle of red wine, and boil it.

You are very lucky you aren't trying to ask for permission to marry my daughter. :)

I agree with Ian.

Still, all the best.

Holy shit! You are a genious! I probably shouldn't do the motor oil (we'd get sick) but maybe celery juice and urine would work.

Thanks bra!

let us know how it goes... I like the boil wine idea best probably the safest.

Blake Nort> I th>

Thank God for people like you, who make me look _good_ by comparison! :^)

Just buy some of the 2 buck Chuck and add some vinegar to it. If you really want to push the envelope, serve it in dribble glasses! ;^D

I think it's hilarious! Do it!

impressed..

In a red wine bottle, try mixing half shiraz and half chardonnay. Really cheap wines would be fine. Most red and white combinations are awful.

Tiggrr

Man, your going to crash & burn! The grape is such a beautiful thing, show some class, get a bottle of Silver Oak or compariable. Do it right, with the respect the "Old Man" has been waiting for & you yourself would want for your daughter.

Maybe - but in Sweden you'll find Lindeman's Bin 45 as a 3 litre BiB - so not all boxes are equal.. Anders
