Sommelier recommends...

Stopped into a Systembolaget (the state alcohol monoply in Sweden) to take a look around, only to discover this ghastly item:

$7 buys you a cardboard Tetra-Pak box of "Golden Gate" wine, which is suspicously packaged in Germany and adorned with an impressionist's view of the Golden Gate Bridge. Looking straight up at the fuzzy orange metal, it's about the same view you would have if you drank the box and tried to drive across the bridge in a convertible, like a smashed Dustin Hoffman.

I think this'll make the perfect gift for all those snooty Californians who think they know wine...
