Since when did CA chardonnay reach 18.5 abv?

A small bottle handed out by flight attendant in a recent local flight.

Looks like 13.5 to me - not 18.5

Cheers

Someone drank too much chard on the plane.

How many did you drink?

Probably helped, airplane wine

Someone needs new glasses.

or clean glasses.

Maybe it’s a sign you shouldn’t have been flying

Hopefully you don’t drive…much

Mile High Club took on a new meaning.

probably about the same time a certain someone hit 40 and didnt bring reading glasses on their flight.

or possibly after about bottle 5 of the 13.5% wine in the picture.

Even without glasses/vision issues, wouldn’t 18.5% alcohol be very noticeable?

So, the answer is “never”?

As an aside, pretty sure 18.5 isn’t really possible without adding spirits to it. Even Amarone doesn’t get that high, right?

Maybe he poured vodka into it?

Brian Loring had a 17.5% Chardonnay in his early years IIRC

For font’s sake Ramon!

Unless you’re picking at 35* brix and not adding Jesus Units.

This is why you drink spirits or beer on a plane.

Wait, l looked again: it’s 73.5%!
