I took delivery of the recreational alcohol supplies today. Luciano, the owner of the shop delivered to the boat. I met him at the driveway then he loaded the boxes onto a dolly and wheeled it along the jetty to the boat.
The delivery included 24 reds (mainly malbecs and cabernet sauvignons), 6 whites, 6 liqueurs (Bols cafe al cognac), and 6 1-liter bottles of Heineken beer. The reds (mostly mid-range) averaged about $5 per bottle. The whites average $4.40 per bottle. Each 1-liter bottle of Heineken cost about $2.70. The 700 ml bottles of Bols cost about $4.45 each.
I don't plan to go mad with this stock. (In fact, last night I had my first glass of wine in about 10 days.) I like the thought that a few months down the track I'll be able to open a bottle of malbec or maybe a chilled Suter white, and think of my stay in Argentina.
