It Was Only A Matter Of Time...

As much as we all use text abbreviations, it was only a matter of time before they started to show up in products.  Here is a wine display at a Kroger grocery store in Durham, NC.

I'm guessing that might be a red wine.

Boone's Farm.  Brings back memories (not all good, either).  When my son first got to college, he said, "Dad, there is this new wine called Boone's Farm!!  Good stuff!!".  As which point I told him that it came out a long time ago.  I know.  The first time I had any was in Key West while I was in the Navy, back in the late 60's.  Went down smooth.  Didn't feel well for several days, however.
