Hello,

I'm going to ask my girlfriend's father for her hand in marriage on
Friday. I'm kind of a jokester and I want to do a thing where I
invite Jenny's parents over, fix them dinner, the whole nine yards.
I thought we'd start the whole thing off with a toast while we're
seated around the table.

Everyone would have a glass of wine and after the toast we'd all
drink...a glass of the worst wine in the world! Right after the swig
of the awful vin I will say something like, "you think that's bad, I
want to marry your daughter!"

So, who can help me pcik out just the most rotten wine inaginable?
Are there wines that cost less than 4 bucks?

thanks!

Blake

Yeah, that's pretty bad. Its hard to find really really bad wines.

As such the really bad ones cost more than you think.

Check for Chateau Margaux 1990 at your local wine store. 1995 will do if
that is not there.

This will make your future father in law sicker when you tell him how much
it cost also.

Salut/Hi Blake Norton,

Wild Irish Rose.

That said, I think it's a dreadful idea.

Sometimes oi just sits and thinks
Sometimes oi just sits.

Assuming this is not a troll, it's actually quite hard to find truly flawed
wines these days. There a lot of wines I don't like, but most people wouldn't
find them "the worst wine in the world" - hell, most of them are big sellers.
So assuming you're father-in-law to-be isn't a real winegeek, here would be my
ideas:
Get a decent bottle of red wine, drink. Refill with traditional kosher wine
such as Manishevitz.
Find the foxiest Lambrusca wine out there. Assuming you're in North America,
you might have to try a local winery. Be gentle to the grower, don't tell him
you're searching for worse wine. Some people like foxy, others don't.
Find a really young tannic Madiran. Serve with fish.
There's always the cheap fortified- MD 20/20, Ripple and the like.

Worst wines in the world? Like the others have said, if it's on the
shelves, it's likely to be drinkable. Perhaps you could talk to some wine
store to sell you an over-the-hill oxidised California chardonnay? Failing
that, look for bottles of red wine that have low fill and look brown when
held up to the light.

Yeah, MD 20/20 should do it. Don't forget to put it in a decanter.

See http://www.tcsn.net/rags/bum/ for other options

Thanks for the ideas! A friend told me about this Polish wine that is
truly awful and is made from raisins. But like the other poster said,
it's expensive. I think I might do the MD 20/20 in a really nice
bottle.

I just hope he thinks it's as funny as I do. Should I tell my
girlfriend in advance? She'll probably just try to talk me out of it.

First the disclaimer that I wouldn't do this, and I recommend
that you don't either. In fact, stop right now and don't read
the next paragraph.

That said, why look for a "bad" wine when you can make a wretched
one yourself? Open the bottle, pour the glasses, then slip a
little something extra into each one, like flat Coca-Cola. Or,
if you're even more mean spirited, motor oil.

Unless you *know* that he enjoys when people pull pranks on him, don't
even think about it. Otherwise, buy any bottle of red wine, and boil it.

You are very lucky you aren't trying to ask for permission to marry my
daughter.


Dimitri

I agree with Ian.

Still, all the best.

Holy shit! You are a genious! I probably shouldn't do the motor oil
(we'd get sick) but maybe celery juice and urine would work.

Thanks bra!

safest.

Thank God for people like you, who make me look _good_ by comparison! :^)

Just buy some of the 2 buck Chuck and add some vinegar to it. If you really
want to push the envelope, serve it in dribble glasses! ;^D

I think it's hilarious! Do it!

In a red wine bottle, try mixing half shiraz and half chardonnay. Really
cheap wines would be fine. Most red and white combinations are awful.

Vampire Red Wine (I think they make a Cabernet and a Merlot). It's from
Transylvania (Hungary) and costs about $5.00 per bottle. It really exists,
and is perfect for Halloween. And you know what? -- I've had worse
(probably out of a box).

Man, your going to crash & burn! The grape is such a beautiful thing,
show some class, get a bottle of Silver Oak or compariable. Do it right,
with the respect the "Old Man" has been waiting for & you yourself would
want for your daughter.

Maybe - but in Sweden you'll find Lindeman's Bin 45 as a 3 litre BiB - so
not all boxes are equal..
