About 20 years ago my wife and I were staying at a hotel on the
outskirts of Copenhagen and wanted a quick dinner before meeting some
people to go for a concert. We went to a nearby restaurant and explained
that we were in a hurry and had only 45 minutes. My wife asked for a
glass of wine and I said I just wanted water. My wife said she would
like water too. I had a hell of a surprise when I got the bill. Those
bottles of water cost us $10 each.
