I had a witty article in mind involving what alcohol I’ve hoarded in my cav (hint: not the isopropyl kind) – with a playful hint at eventually getting my own Vintec unit sometime soon, as well as an admonishment of people hoarding supermarket shelves.

I was also planning to include sites where people could get their alcohol from the safety and comfort of their homes (here are quick links* to Don Revy, Wine Depot, Winery Philippines, and Boozy.ph… People who want to advertise, please send me a PM and I’ll include them as well).

However, I feel that the climate is not yet stable enough for me to go about this article in my usual tone… Not just because of the lock down (We’re introverts with books, games, streaming systems, a means to work out, and hobbies to keep us busy… Plus, prior to the hoarding mayhem I’ve always made sure there are more than enough supplies at home… So, we’ve got no cause to complain), but because…
