My bf will throw out Miller Lite but will drink Popov. The first time we were together and he tried to buy it I begged him to stop. I eventually put it back and got Grey Goose and paid for it myself to avoid having to look at the Popov bottle in my home.

There are tons of things I am willing to save a dollar on - vodka is not one of them.

If you loved him, doc, you would empty the Popov bottles, fill them with Grey Goose, and pretend to love the cheap stuff.

I don't love him.

But he'd rather have grey goose too - but he is willing to go cheap on vodka.

I think there are some things people are willing to cheap on and those catagories are different for everyone.

I won't:
buy store brand canned foods (shop n save tuna, schnucks soup etc), store brand dog food, cheap liquor (any type of cheap liquor)

But, I will:
buy cheap wine, cheap beer, dented canned items, generic cleaning supplies, etc

I'm pretty well on the same page doc, with the notable exception of cheap beer (I won't).

Flavored fortified wines can be fun, especially when the artificial color comes off in the glass.

A college friend of mine once threw a fortified-wine tasting. He's the only one who made it through the tasting, though.

Any wine to which additional alcohol has been added. But I'm thinking specifically of the likes of Thunderbird, MD 20/20 (Mad Dog), Orange Jubilee, Night Train, Boone's Farm . . .
