What are you drinking?

Coffee. Had about an ounce of a Russian River chard last night but just to taste it.

Other than that? Mostly Rhones, Oregon Pinot Noirs and New Zealand Sauvignon Blancs.

Seltzer these days.

I've been going to Target and Best Buy to refill my bottles. Costs about $17.00 for a refill.

I found a company called SodaSense that refills them via a Netflix DVD model - they send you two bottles, and when you need more, they send another couple, you mail back the empties. Costs about $20 a bottle.

I'm getting my first shipment today.

Great to know!

It's only a couple of bucks more, but when I go to Target and Best Buy it's a 50/50 shot as to whether they're in stock. This is easier and more reliable.

Hope it works.

Ax, it seems our fellow forum members are not understanding the concept. We're going to have to figure out what we can do to educate them.

I suppose it's best to lead by example in this case, with some elementary pictures and very simple descriptions of corkbook-related products. A tutorial may be needed as well.

My quarantine drinking routine has solidified.

Friday: 2ish drinks. e.g., a bottle of wine split with the wife (usually a pinot, merlot or cab), o r a couple of beers
Saturday: one super nice drink. Last few weeks its been lagavulin.

Other than that I'm exclusively water, coffee and sparkling water.

Does anyone else get excited by the thought of coffee in the morning just before going to sleep?

[Aqua Letifer]

@xenon Not when I go to sleep, that's weird, man.

But in the morning, hell yes.

[Optimistic]

I´ve been hooked on margaritas lately. With freshly squeezed lemon or lime and mandarin juice. So, it´s pretty healthy!

[brenda]

@Optimistic Absolutely! Vitamin C, FTW!
