Dólar Malbec

Also just read we're having China print pesos now because Brazil and Spain can't keep up. Don't worry, we won't be having them print $5,000 or $10,000 peso bills, no no, that would be admitting that inflation is a problem

Be careful what you wish for! Back in 2002, right after the peso plunged from parity to three to the dollar you could buy one litre tetrapacks of red "wine" (variety of grape not guaranteed) for 99¢. Let me make that clearer: I mean ninety-nine Argentine centavos or about 33 US cents. Tasting notes? You want tasting notes? What kind of a drunk do you think I am?

Well, uh, you are English, no?

I recall drinking a very, very cheap wine in college way back in the '60s called Ripple. Was cheap like maybe $1 and had a headache for days.

Those gallon glass jugs of sangria went quickly. I believe they're still around, at least in the US.
