Topic: Why do they always put wine bottles in a little paper bag at the grocery store??

Meta started this discussion 9 years ago #65,825

They don't do this for six packs of beer or 40s.

In many places, it is the law. A bag has to cover the label so the good, virtuous townspeople cannot see what you are doing. Not kidding.

But it kind of defeats the purpose when wine is the ONLY item thus bagged.

No it does not. It hides the product.

But if wine is the only product that's hidden, a hidden product must be wine.

Why so? If you see a paper bag, then it must be wine? There is an unlimited number of other products that could be in the bag. Why do you assume it is wine?

It's good for people who want to date black women, people will assume you are drunk when actually it's just coca-cola.

one trick i learned to survive in the ghetto was to replace 10-15% of every bottle of rum with coca-cola. that way you're drinking 10-15% less rum and risking 10-15% less alcohol poisoning after some punk challenges you to a rumoff in the streets

So that you can hide your being an alcholæ from your parents.
