Wining and Dining

Today we went out for a lunch with some friends. This always prompts the dilemma, what do we take the hosts?

In days of yore,
When we were so poor
Cheap Spanish wine
Would do just fine!
But now the wine
Must be fine.

Poor students were glad of anything alcoholic. Poor young marrieds too! But these days does taking a bottle of wine imply that our now rich friends can’t afford to provide us wine? And would our wine offering be good enough anyway?

Today we took posh chocolates and homemade jam.

Hope they weren’t banking on getting wine!
