I just went for a run and it is 16 degrees outside. Whew feels quite good that I ran. Actually, I ran to this liquor superstore that claims that it has the cheapest wine in the whole of Canberra. It claims that if we can find a cheaper wine elsewhere, it will beat them. Hm I decided to explain the following as I don’t want my blog to be some trashy blog with s.h.i.t.t.y content.

Economics students will know that such claim on beating other people’s prices is not good. You may think that wa, so good! cheapest in the region and will cut their price if you can find somewhere that has a lower price. Hm actually the store is quite jian4. In a sense, by saying that they are going to undercut their competitors, they are actually sending a signal to their competitors that they should not sell wine cheaply. A store may benefit from selling cheaply if it manages to attract all the customers. However, if the store retaliates by undercutting, both will make losses. Put it simple, the store is saying, “ you think you can win me by undercutting?? Let’s die together by selling cheaply”. Hahahaha.Hence, no store will sell cheaply and customers suffer. So you all should boycott these stores. But I bought a bottle of wine from them anyway.

To date, I have quite a few bottles of wine in my room. I have Shiraz, white viognier, jacobbs creek rise, chardonnay. I don’t think you all can recognize any of these. Don’t pretend to be high class and say that you can ok. Today I bought pinot grigio at $4.99. Here’s the description on the label.

“Pears lighter than air, buoyed aloft by pineapple, peaches and a zephyr of citrus fruit. A flavorsome ride with soft landings in honeysuckle meadows. Crisps and light.

Sounds so poetic and nice. The wine taste good but I can’t taste any pear, pineapple, honey suckle etc. It just taste like wine. I wonder if they wrote the description for you to imagine while drinking. Anyway, I still read the label to decide which one to buy. Haha.
