There's also disappointment of really enjoying what I thought was an inexpensive, everyday bottle of wine that I could drink regularly, only to discover that isn't a viable option because supply is limited and I can't afford to open >$50 bottles on a weekly basis.
OK. But you bought it to drink at some point. Just seems like your complaints are superficial. You enjoyed it, right? Doesn't sound like your food choice or inability to share it impacted you adversely.
