And now (Horrors!) Nick knows that she buys wine-in-a-box. Wonder what Rose will have to say about that? (Avis’ expression in the last panel = priceless!)
Don’t be such a snob, Ruthie. There’s plenty of good wines in a box. And the nice thing about it is you can pour a glass a day without the rest of the bottle going stale.
My favorite wine-inna-box is Cardbordeaux.A Pluggers’ refrigerator door ‘saver.’Avis is real to me.. She used to ‘do’ her groceries at the supermarket I worked at as a teen.Always trying to look her best at 83 years.(shudder)
Busted, Avis! I’d rather be a wine slob than a wine snob. True story, I keep my Carlo Rossi Paisano in my fridge and have been known to serve it to uppity guests (who pride themselves on their wine expertise) in a Waterford glass decanter. They always rave about how great the wine is and constantly, incorrectly guess the varietal and vineyard. I have never revealed the "secret’.

Just what Avis wants: Nick, her knight in shining armor to rescue her. Just don’t let grandma know.

Boxed wine. It’s not just for breakfast anymore. But isn’t it a natural choice for putting on your Grape Nuts?
