  1. Nonsense. That's the normal everyday, normal everyday drinking wine that Freddy gave us. Not the really expensive thousand pounds stuff. That's on the, on the cheap and dusty wine on the, on the er, on the right, not the clean, expensive wine on the left. Not the, not the, that's the cheap and dusty. Not the clean, expensive. Now that I think of it, the stickers from Londis on the bottles. . . . . There isn't any chance Manny is there, that you somehow managed to direct us to drink not the cheap wine but the unbelievably rare and expensive wine. Is there?
