A punt - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_bottle#Punts

So, Cristok was right after all. Also, at least somebody likes that Rooster wine, http://www.wineforthecheap.com/2009/04/ ... oster.html Haha, how many more bottles of that do you have to drink Ash, before you're ready for the mead?

I get 1 bottle of 20 different wines. That Giants 47 Pound Rooster shit was just god awful! I mean, BLEH! After half the bottle I actually diluted the stuff because it was just too acidic. I've NEVER done that in my life. After doing that it went down a little better but I still have a 1/4 of a bottle uncorked that I may just pour out.

No, seriously, the punt myth has held absolutely true for me.

They say that the reason that this holds true is because it costs a lot more to produce bottles with punts. The deeper the punt the more expensive the bottle. Now you put that on the scale of 10,000 bottles and it makes perfect sense that cheap wines have little or no punt at the bottom, hence, the deeper the punt the better wine (as with everything there are exceptions).

After walking around the store today I noticed I could not find a single bottle of wine for 5$ that had a punt.

Ha! I don't that I was 'right' exactly. Looks like there is no consensus on why there are punts but there are 10 different reasons to have them. Fun stuff. *Is thirsty for wine now*

Wine is for sissies. Drink Mead. Or Guinness.

Good wine is so much easier to find then good mead though. I want to make my own at some point.

If you're in Texas after October I'll happily cork a bottle of my own :)

Uhhhh ohhhhh, somebody managed to drink 20 bottles of wine. That means it's time to start putting my delicious ambrosia into a vessel capable of containing the drink of immortality while it itself gets worked over by a pissed off father time. Oh yeah, we'z gettin' closer to guzzlin' the goods!
